A density of a substance is constant. It is an extensive property, meaning it does not depend on the amount of substance because it is a ratio of mass to volume. No matter how much of each there is, they would always have a fixed ratio called density. For lead, the density is
Density = mass/volume
Density = 23.94 g/ 2.10 cm³
Density = 11.4 g/cm³
#6).
Every 1,000 mL makes 1 L
How many 1,000mL are there in 2,800 mL ?
That's division.
(2,800 mL) / (1,000 mL) = <em>2.8 L</em>
#7).
The 'perimeter' means the 'distance all the way around'.
You have to know that both sides of a rectangle are the same length,
and also the top and bottom are the same length.
So the perimeter of this rectangle is
(2 yd) + (4.5 yd) + (2.yd) + (4.5 yd) = 13 yd .
Oops. The problem wants to know the perimeter in feet.
So you have to know that each yard is the same as 3 feet.
In order to find the number of feet in 13 yards, you have to
take 3 feet 13 <em><u>times</u></em> .
(3 feet) times (13) = <em>39 feet .</em>
#8).
For this one, you have to know that every 36 inches makes 1 yard.
How many 36 inches are there in 48 inches ?
That's division.
(48 inches) / (36inches) = <em>1 and 1/2 yards</em> .
#9).
For this problem, you have to know how to handle a mixed number,
and you also have to know that there are 16 ounces in 1 pound.
Add up the fruit:
(3-1/2 pounds) + (4 pounds) + 2 pounds) = <em><u>9-1/2 pounds</u></em>
Now, remember that each pound is the same as 16 ounces. So if you
want to find the number of ounces in 9-1/2 pounds, you have to take
16 ounces 9-1/2 times .
(16 ounces) times (9-1/2) = <em>152 ounces</em>.

#10).
This one is just adding up some numbers. But after you finish doing that, you have to know that 1,000 meters is called '1 kilometer' .
Add up the distances that Omar ran:
(1,000 meters) + (1,625 meters) + (1,500 meters) = <em><u>4,125 meters</u></em>
The problem wants to know how many kilometers this is, so you have to figure out how many '1,000 meters' fit into 4,125 meters.
That's division.
(4,125 meters) / (1,000 meters) = <em>4.125 kilometers</em>
Density is given by the equation D=m/V, were D is density, m is mass in grams, and V is volume in cubic centimeters.
In this problem, we have density and we have mass so we can plug into the equation and solve for V.
38.6=270.2/V
<em>*Multiply both sides by V*</em>
38.6V=270.2
<em>*Divide both sides by 38.6*</em>
V=7
The volume of the gold nugget is 7cm3.
Hope this helps!!
