Question

A large diamond with a mass of 712.04 grams was recently discovered in a mine. If the density of the diamond is 5.02 g/cm^3 , what is the volume? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. (5 points)
Select one:
a. 141.84 cm3
b. 507.02 cm3
c. 717.06 cm3
d. 3574.44 cm3

Answer 1

@ganeshie8

Answer 2

D=M/V

where d = density
m = mass
and V = volume..

Answer 3

@prowrestler ... now... use the formula.. that i have given by writing the values that the question has given for the 2 known...

Answer 4

mass is 712.04 grams

Answer 5

density of the diamond is 5.02 g/cm^3

Answer 6

so @prowrestler .. use those values in the equation that i have given u...

Answer 7

what do i do whith those numbers do i plug them in

Answer 8

You may notice that density is measured in g/cm3.

Thus when density is 5.02 g/cm^3, you could also say that "it has 5.02g per 1 cm3", or "each cm3 contains 5.02 grams".

Then you need to ask yourself, if 1cm3 can contain a mass of 5.02g, how many cm3 would be need to put in 712.04 grams of mass.

Think of the cubic centimetre like a basket that you put weight in. How many would be needed?

Answer 9

yeah @prowrestler ..
im solving it here u can take a look
D = M/V
i.e.
V = M/D

so just divide the mass given i.e.712.04 grams with 5.02
and u would get the answer

Answer 10

712.04/5.02

Answer 11

yeah @prowrestler ...:D

Answer 12

i got 141.84063..... is that correct
