what is the volume of a liquid with a density of 1.5g/ml and a mass of 78g?

Question

mathstudent55 · Answer

Density is mass divided by volume,
or d = m/v

If you solve for volume, you get v = m/d

Just plug in your values for density and mass to find the volume.

anonymous · Answer

so v+ 78/1.5?

anonymous · Answer

v= i mean

anonymous · Answer

so would it be 52?

mathstudent55 · Answer

Yes, but don't forget the units.

anonymous · Answer

so 52g/ml?

mathstudent55 · Answer

No.
Remember you are looking for a volume.
Of all units you see in this problem, which units are units of volume?
There is no need to guess.
If you write the units in the equation, you'll get the correct units in the end.

anonymous · Answer

g2/ml

mathstudent55 · Answer

$v = \dfrac{m}{d} $

$v = \dfrac{78 ~g}{1.5 \frac{g}{ml}} $

$v = 52 ~g \times \dfrac{ml}{g} $

$v = 52 ~\cancel{g} \times \dfrac{ml}{\cancel{g}} $

$v = 52 ~ml$

mathstudent55 · Answer

ml is a unit of volume
g is a unit of mass
g/ml is a unit of density

anonymous · Answer

but u dont add th eunit for volume?
