Problema Solution
A piece of granite with a volume of 40 cm3 has a mass of 108g. What is the mass of a piece of granite the volume of which is greater by 35 cm3?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
m = the mass of a piece of granite whose volume is: 40 + 35 = 75 cm^3 (greater by 35 cm^3)
Since Density = Mass / Volume and we are talking about pieces of the same material (same density) we can write:
m/75 = 108/40

........
m = 202.5 g
The mass of the piece of granite with volume of 75 cm^3 is 202.5 grams.
