guys please help :((
A cubic ice cube weighs 920 grams. If the density of ice is .92g/cm^3, then at least how many sucj ice cubes would it take o build a towr that is three meters tall? there are 100cm in a meter. A) 23 B) 21 C) 25 D) 30 E) 34
density = mass/volume. use the density and mass to find the volume of an ice cube. the length of one side of a cube is length^3, so find the cubic root. 3*100cm/(length of one cube) = how many ice cubes to build the tower
Knowing that there are .92grams of ice in a cubic centimeter, we can calculate the size of the ice cube. \[920\div.92\] That gives us 1000 cubic centimeters in the 920 gram ice cube from the equation \[Density = Mass \div Volume\] Knowing that it is a cube it must have equal sides so we take the cube root of 1000 to find the height of the cube. \[\sqrt[3]{1000} = 10cm\] Now we know that each cube is 10cm high, which means we need 10 of them to make the 100cm tower
but they want it in meter
Alright then, if each cube is 10cm and you want it to be 3 meters tall ie 300cm then you need 30 of them
Answer D
thank you very much :)
