241.5 grams of gold has a volume of 12.5 cubic cm. what is the volume of 193.2 grams of gold
How do you set this problem up?
241.5 / 12.5 = 193.2 / x Multiply both sides by 12.5
241.5 * 12.5 / 12.5 = 193.2 * 12.5 / x
241.5 = 2415 / x Multiply both sides by x
241.5 * x = 2415 * x / x
241. 5 x = 2415 Divide both sides by 241.5
2415.5 x / 241.5 = 2415 / 241.5
x = 10 cm ^ 3
OR
12.5 / 241.5 = 0.05175983436853
0.05175983436853 * 193.2 = 10 cm ^ 3
