A piece of metal ribbon has a mass of 6g.It has a density of 4g/mL. What is the volume of the ribbon?
To find the volume of the metal ribbon, we need to use the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
Given that the mass of the ribbon is 6g and the density is 4g/mL, we can substitute these values into the formula:
4g/mL = 6g / Volume
To isolate the volume, we can rearrange the equation:
Volume = Mass / Density
Therefore, the volume of the metal ribbon can be calculated by dividing its mass by its density:
Volume = 6g / 4g/mL
Simplifying this further, we convert mL to g since the units need to be consistent:
Volume = 6g / 4g/mL * 1mL/1g
By canceling out the units, we get:
Volume = 6 / 4 mL
Simplifying, we divide 6 by 4:
Volume = 1.5 mL
Hence, the volume of the metal ribbon is 1.5 mL.
