Question

Is my answer correct?

Answer 1

A large emerald with a mass of 764.3 grams was recently discovered in a mine. If the density of the emerald is 2.76grams over centimeters cubed, what is the volume? Round to the nearest hundredth when necessary and only enter numerical values, which can include a decimal point.

276.92

Answer 2

is that right?

Answer 3

Density = Mass / Volume
Volume = Mass / Density
Volume = 764.3 grams / 2.76 grams per cm³
Volume = 276.9202898551 cm³

Rounded =
Volume = 276.92 cm³

Answer 10

That's all well and good IF you are calculating the volume of a 378.24 gram emerald.
However, the ORIGINAL question asked by Andraste states
***************************************************
A large emerald with a mass of 764.3 grams ............
***************************************************
So, if you randomly change the question, you can make the answer anything.

Also your answer of
Answer: 137.04 my teacher said it was correct
is NOT correct. Why ? You are NOT stating the units.

Answer 11

Lol thats weird

Answer 12

Why did you change the original problem?

Answer 13

I didnt know i did lol i thought it was the same i googles the question and this was one of the choices it gave me.

Answer 14

Well now you know why you got a different answer.

By the way you know it is very important to state correct units too. RIght?

Answer 15

Okay I'll tell you. Let's suppose you want a guitar amp and you want to kw how powerful it is. You ask how powerful is it and they reply 100 - does that really help you?

Answer 16

Wow 100??? You'd better get out the ear protection for that monster amplifier.

Answer 17

Maybe he means it requires 100 volts OR maybe it will produce 100 decibels OR maybe it generates 100 watts OR maybe it requires 100 watts from the wall outlet, etc.
You see, units ARE important.

Answer 18

I'm a guitar player and that's why I picked that example. Sometimes somebody might say they have a 500 watt amplifier - a VERY powerful amp. But I'd always be suspicious and say "Heck, if you put a toaster in the amp and measured the wattage USED by that amp you'd at least have a 1,000 watt amp." And I got my friends using the expression "That's a thousand watt amp??? Probably 'toaster watts' "

Answer 19

Well "geekfromthefutur" I'll get going but if nothing else I think you know the importance of units.

Answer 20

lol yea later wolf

Answer 21

Okay see ya
