Question

Calculate the density of a substance in pen- nyweights per peck that has a volume of 0.333 hogsheads and a mass of 49.62 kg.
1 pennyweight = 1.55 grams 1 hogshead = 238.5 liters
1 peck = 9.091 liters. Answer in units of pw/pk

Answer 1

1 pw = 1.55g
1/1.55pw=g

1 pk =9.091 l
1/9.091 pk =1 l

density = mass/volume=49.62kg/0.333 l=49620g/0.333 l

(49620 * 1/1.55pw)/ ( 0.333 * 1/9.091 pk)

i suppose that the answer is 873961.87 pw per pk.
