A clay pot has a mass of 65.7grams and a volume of 29.2cubic centimeters. Calculate its density.

Question

Write your answer to the hundredths place.

Answer 1

To calculate the density of an object, you can use the formula:

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

In this case, the mass of the clay pot is 65.7 grams and the volume is 29.2 cubic centimeters. Plugging in these values:

\[ \text{Density} = \frac{65.7 \text{ grams}}{29.2 \text{ cm}^3} \]

Now, let's perform the calculation:

\[ \text{Density} \approx 2.25 \text{ grams/cm}^3 \]

Thus, the density of the clay pot is approximately 2.25 grams/cm³.
