A cube of ice, 28 cm on each side,is melted into a measuring cup. What is the volume of the liquid water
-------cm^3
To find the volume of the liquid water, we need to know the formula for the volume of a cube and the conversion factor for turning cubic centimeters into liters.
The formula for the volume of a cube is:
Volume = side length^3
Since the given cube has a side length of 28 cm, we can substitute it into the formula:
Volume = 28 cm * 28 cm * 28 cm
Calculate the volume by multiplying the side lengths together:
Volume = 21,952 cm^3
Now, to convert cubic centimeters (cm^3) to liters (L), we need to use the conversion factor:
1 cm^3 = 0.001 L
To find the volume in liters, divide the volume in cubic centimeters by the conversion factor:
Volume in liters = 21,952 cm^3 * 0.001 L/cm^3
Calculate the final result:
Volume in liters = 21.952 L
Therefore, the volume of the liquid water is 21.952 liters.
step 1: what is the volume of the cube of ice?
step 2: find out how much water is produced when the ice melts. It will decrease in volume by some percentage.
