Math question!?!

anonymous · Answer

What is the weight (in grams) of a liquid that exactly fills a 465.0 milliliter container if the density of the liquid is 0.982grams over milliliter? Round to the nearest hundredth when necessary and only enter numerical values, which can include a decimal point.

@LarsEighner hello can you help?

@mathmate hello can you help?

mathmate · Answer

There are some inconsistencies in the question...

anonymous · Answer

@mathmate how?

mathmate · Answer

"What is the $weight$.." should read mass.

larseighner · Answer

There is no problem there. What do you think?  You have one thing in ml and another thing in g/ml and you are asked for an an answer in g.

anonymous · Answer

@mathmate well thats exactly how i copied the question

anonymous · Answer

@LarsEighner so you get the gist of this question?

mathmate · Answer

That's ok.  Just in case you're going on to physics.

mathmate · Answer

Tag me if @LarsEighner is no longer available.

anonymous · Answer

kk

anonymous · Answer

0.982grams/ 465.0 millilite

anonymous · Answer

@LarsEighner and so i dived them

larseighner · Answer

So the units grams divide by milliliters and you divided by milliters, so your answer is now in grams divided by milliliters divided by millilters.  The question ask you for an amount in grams.

anonymous · Answer

so i did grams/mill and got 0.0021118

anonymous · Answer

@LarsEighner not sure what to do next

larseighner · Answer

The question said "0.982grams over milliliter" What do to it to get an answer in grams?

anonymous · Answer

Uhm i get 0.0021118 still confused

@mathmate plz i just need the answer im so lost plus my wifi is die on me

@ganeshie8

anonymous · Answer

idk divide it look the question up or something

mathmate · Answer

Use 
mass = volume * density
as long as the quantities are in the proper units.
Consistent units would be
mass: grams, volume: mL or cc, density: g/ml or g/cc

mathmate · Answer

If this is a physics or chemistry question, you will need to give the answer to the appropriate accuracy.
Volume was given to 4 significant digits, while the density was to 3 digits.
So you answer could have a maximum of 3 significant digits.
