Question

The weight of a liquid varies directly as its volume V. If the weight of the liquid in a cubical container 5cm on a side is 375g, find weight of the liquid in a cubical container 4 cm on a side?

Answer 1

Assuming the density of the liquid remains constant.

let D = density, M = mass and V = volume.

\[D = \frac{ M }{ V } =\frac{ 375g }{ 5*5*5 } = \frac{ M_2 }{ 4*4*4 }\]

Answer 2

cross multiplying will get you the answer

Answer 3

I came up with 192 g. is that right? im not sure

Answer 4

it is right

Answer 5

thank you....I was having difficulties solving this one
