Could you please explain to me this problem? If a liquid has a density of 1.17 g/cm3, how many liters of the liquid have a mass of 3.75 kg?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

density =mass/volume

OpenStudy (anonymous):

careful with units there is alot of ambiguity there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be \[1.17=3.75/volume\] and thats \[volume= 3.75/1.17\] right? so i get 3.2 liters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are correct. as they asked you the volume in litres and 1gm/cm3=1kg/lit some times units doesnot match like this so you should be careful
