Find the volume of a starburst candy (220 cm cubed). The mass is 5.14 grams. Calculate it's density. How many starburst would it take to fill your locker (139,200 cm cubed)? Use dimensional analysis to solve this problem.
Ah, density! The quantity that tells you how much junk you can cram into a confined space. Now, let's calculate it for our dear starburst candy.
Given that the volume of the candy is 220 cm³ and the mass is 5.14 grams, we can calculate its density. Remember, density is mass divided by volume.
So, density = mass/volume. Plugging in the values, we get density = 5.14 g / 220 cm³.
Now, let's dive into the world of dimensional analysis. We have a locker with a volume of 139,200 cm³. We want to figure out how many starbursts it would take to fill it up.
Let's set up our calculation:
(139,200 cm³ locker) x (1 starburst/220 cm³) = ?
Now, it's time to cancel out those units and calculate:
(139,200 cm³) x (1/220) cm³ = 633.82 starbursts.
So, it would take approximately 633.82 starbursts to fill up your locker. Just make sure to have a snack backup in case you get hungry while searching for your books!
To calculate the density of the starburst candy, we divide its mass by its volume.
Density = Mass / Volume
Given that the mass of the starburst candy is 5.14 grams and its volume is 220 cm³:
Density = 5.14 g / 220 cm³
Now, to calculate how many starburst candies would be needed to fill a locker with a volume of 139,200 cm³, we can use dimensional analysis.
Let's set up the conversion factor using the density we just calculated:
1 starburst candy has a volume of 220 cm³
So, the conversion is:
220 cm³ of starburst candy = 1 starburst candy
We can now set up the following proportion:
(139,200 cm³) / (220 cm³) = X candies / 1
Simplifying the equation, we have:
X candies = (139,200 cm³) / (220 cm³)
Computing the right side of the equation:
X candies ≈ 632 candies
Therefore, it would take approximately 632 starburst candies to fill a locker with a volume of 139,200 cm³.
Would it be more efficient to measure its volume using length x width x height or use water displacement
