HELP ANYONE?

1kg :)

shane_b · Answer

Oh...and that's because 1000ml = 1000g = 1 kg.

anonymous · Answer

One milliliter is one thousandth of a liter. So one gram * 1000 = a thousand grams, or a kilogram (kilo means a thousand)

shane_b · Answer

For water at that temp anyway...

anonymous · Answer

I have the answer and it says it is 4000 grams but I don't know how to find it

shane_b · Answer

If it says the answer is 4000g then either it's wrong or the question isn't stated correctly above.

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, it can't be 4000. Perhaps a typo?

anonymous · Answer

Ok thanks- it should be 1000 grams?

shane_b · Answer

Yes, which is 1 kg

anonymous · Answer

yep. the fact that it's at 4 degrees celsius doesn't change anything, it's still the same temperature so the water still has the same density.

Perfect thanks for the clarification
