A student found the mass of a brick: 50 grams. The volume was 10 cubic centimeters. If the student had 5 bricks, what would be the total density?

Answer :

Answer:

The answer is 5 g/cm³

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

[tex]density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\ [/tex]

From the question

The mass of one brick is 50 g

the volume of one brick is 10 cm³

Since the student had 5 bricks

Total mass = 5 × 50 = 250 g

total volume = 5 × 10 = 50 cm³

So the total density is

[tex]density = \frac{250}{50} = \frac{25}{5} \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

5 g/cm³

Hope this helps you
