How would you find the density of a gallon of milk? A.Find the mass of the gallon of milk and then divide by the number of cubic centimeters in a gallon B.Find the mass of the gallon of milk and then multiply by the number of cubic centimeters in a gallon C.Convert a gallon into cubic centimeters and then divide by the mass of the gallon of milk D.Convert a gallon into cubic centimeters and then subtract the mass of the gallon of milk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Density is mass (sometimes weight) per volume. To get those units, we multiply by the mass, and divide by the volume. Which answer does that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

either A OR B ?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C also sounds like it could be it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope. Check what I wrote above, and read the possible answers carefully.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how could it be if it includes subtracting @AnimalAin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which answer has us dividing by the volume?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Density = mass divided by volume. Hint: volume will be measured in cubic metres, or centimetres, etc.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it souns like its C!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*sounds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not C. C gives the reciprocal of the density. If you work it that way, you get volume per mass. That is backwards.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

C.Convert a gallon into cubic centimeters and then divide by the mass of the gallon of milk This tells you to divide volume by mass, which is not correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its A b/c its saying find the mass & then divide

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Correct. Find mass, divide by volume.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct. Do math every day.

@agent0smith

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

No prob.
