Question

Aliquid has a density of 1.48 g/cm^3. What volume of liquid has a mass of 5.00 grams?

Answer 1

Volume = `{5.00" g"}/{1.48" g/cm"^3}=3.38" cm"^3`.

Explanation:

Divide mass by density to get volume. Remember: You have only three significant figures in both inputs (the zeroes after the decimal point in `5.00` count as significant digits), so that is all that can be reported.
