Question

If iron has a density of 7,874 kg/m3, and the mass of an iron block is 16,000 kilograms, which of the following correctly calculates the volume of the iron block?(1 point)
Responses

2.03 m3
2.03 m cubed

20.3 m3
20.3 m cubed

0.49 m3
0.49 m cubed

0.203 m3

Answer 1

To calculate the volume of the iron block, we can use the formula:

\[
\text{Volume} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}}
\]

Given:
- Mass of the iron block = 16,000 kg
- Density of iron = 7,874 kg/m³

Plugging in the values:

\[
\text{Volume} = \frac{16,000 \, \text{kg}}{7,874 \, \text{kg/m}^3} \approx 2.03 \, \text{m}^3
\]

Thus, the correct calculation for the volume of the iron block is approximately **2.03 m³**.

The correct response is:
- **2.03 m3** (or **2.03 m cubed**)
