Is this correct? The thickness of a kerosene spill is 1.2mm. The spill is .79 miles in diameter. Kerosene has a density of .82g/cc. Assuming that the spill is uniform in thickness and is shaped in a circle, how much Kerosene, volume and mass, is spilled? The volume is .58 and the mass is .48.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, I would like to know what the volume would be in gallons and the mass would be in tons?

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

What is the volumes unit right now?

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

Same with the mass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not sure

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

:/ well I can't give you an answer without a unit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well there are mm g/cc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The density is measured in g/cc

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

grams for mass

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

and what for volume?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

mm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So would the volume be in mm or ml? maybe

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

‪0.000153 is the volume in gallons

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In gallons? Ok

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

0.00000052910943 is the mass in tons

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

Are you sure thats what you wanted?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah... Are the measurements correct though? Like the mass and volume I got?

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

No I am not

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

Would you like me to check?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

Ok one second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

It's difficult to do reverse density, sorry its taking so long

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can just use the volume= mass/density thing and plug it all in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what I did

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

Oh ok

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

Yes you where right

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

Goodjob :)

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

Do you need anything else?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I was eating dinner! And yea, I have this one problem that I can't figure out, do you think you could help me?
