A large emerald with a mass of 812.04 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. can someone help me solve this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

density = mass/volume.

i got 294.21 is that right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, 2.76 = 812.04/x 2.76x = 812.04

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How'd you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha sorry, miscalculation on my part. That's correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i divided 812.04 with 2.76 lol sorry I'm really bad at math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, you're fine. But, being that you're rounding to the nearest hundredth, it would be 294.22

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh haha thank you
