OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please, note that: mass = density* volume

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u mean like this \[13.6\times4.7\times10^-5\] @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it will be \[1.36\times10^1\times4.7\times10^-5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[=(1.36\times4.7)\times10^-4\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[=6.392\times10^-4\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

better is 6.4

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

\[6.4*10^{-4}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thnx @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):
