Question

A block of cheese has a volume of 187 cm3 and a mass of 140 g.
What is the density of the cheese in g/cm3 rounded to 2 decimal places?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.75 g/cm^3 to 2 decimal places.

Step-by-step explanation:

Density = mass / volume

= 140 / 182

= 0.7487 g/cm^3

hope this helped

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf d \approx 0.75 \ g/cm^3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Density can be found by dividing the mass by the volume.

$d=\frac{m}{v}$

The mass of the block of cheese is 140 grams and the volume is 187 cubic centimeters.

$m= 140 \ g \\v= 187 \ cm^3$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$d=\frac{140 \ g}{187 \ cm^3}$

Divide.

$d=0.748663102 \ g/cm^3$

Round to the hundredth place (2 decimal places).

The 8 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 4 to a 5.

$d \approx 0.75 \ g/cm^3$

The density is about 0.75 grams per cubic centimeters.
