Answer to Question #84715 in Algebra for Jay

Question

What is the corks density per cubic centimeter? That is , how many grams of corks are there per cubic centimeter ?

Answer 1

The cork's density is

$$0.24 \text{ g/cm}^3$$

. It means that there is approximately 1/4 of a gram of cork in 1 cubic centimeter. To find how much mass there is in the given volume for any material, use the formula

$$m=\rho\cdot V,$$

where

$$\rho$$

- density,

$$V$$

- volume. To calculate mass correctly, the volume must be in the same unit that's in the denominator of density's unit.
