Silicon for computer chips is grown in large cylinders called "boules" that are 300 in diameter and 2 in height. The density of silicon is 2.33 . Silicon wafers for making integrated circuits are sliced from a 2.0 boule and are typically 0.75 thick and 300 in diameter.

Question

Silicon for computer chips is grown in large cylinders called "boules" that are 300  in diameter and 2 in height. The density of silicon is 2.33 . Silicon wafers for making integrated circuits are sliced from a 2.0  boule and are typically 0.75  thick and 300  in diameter.

what is the question part?

anonymous · Answer

And what are the units on those numbers? 300 what? 2.33 what?

anonymous · Answer

yea whatever teacher gave you that might need their brain mri'd

anonymous · Answer

I can make some assumptions about what it's asking. Assuming all the length measurement units are the same. We can divide 2 whatevers by 0.75 whatevers to get the number of wafers per boule. From that information we can use the density in something units per such-and-such other unit to get the mass per boule and per wafer.

But perhaps I've assumed too much . .

But what are they asking?

anonymous · Answer

Like I said, I can only make an assumption based on what I would be able to calculate from the given information.
If someone handed me that given information, I would read it, hand it back to them, and say,
"Cool story, bro."

anonymous · Answer

I would take it and find the person that gave it to them and demand units and a question.

anonymous · Answer

Naw, 'cause then you'd have to actually do work on it.  ;-)

anonymous · Answer

well then i would take it and after making them do it, i would shove it down their throat and force them to digest it.

Eh, not so bad if it's written on paper. Paper has a lot of cellulose, so that would add a lot of fiber to their diet. Hopefully the ink is nontoxic, though.
