Question

Three samples of wood with the same volume were weighed. Sample A has a mass of 224.96 g, sample B has a mass of 0.55632 Ibs, and sample C has a mass of 0.30648 kg. Which block of wood has the highest density? Show your work. 2.21 Ibs = 1 kg
Note: I have no idea how to solve this. Someone help me please!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Sample C has the highest density

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Sample A has a mass of 224.96 grams

Sample B has a mass of 0.55632 lbs = 252.3425 grams

Sample C has a mass of 0.30648 kg = 306.48 grams

The volume is for all the sample equal

Step 2: Calculate density

We suppose the volume is 1000 mL

Density = mass / volume

Density sample A = 224.96 grams / 1000 mL = 0.22496 g/mL

Density sample B = 252.3425 grams / 1000 mL = 0.2523425 g/mL

Density sample C = 306.48 grams / 1000 mL = 0.30648 g/mL

Sample C has the highest density
