Calculate the density of a substance in pennyweights that has a volume of 0.287hogsheads and a mass of 55.25kg.

1 pennyweight= 1.55g
1 hogshead=238.5 liters
1 peck=9.091 liters

Answer in pw/pk.

1 answer

I assume pw/pk = pennyweight/peck.
55250 x (1 pw/1.55g) = ?mass in pw.

0.287 hh x (238.5 L/1 hh) x (1 pk/9.091 L) = ?volume in pecks.

Then density = ?pw/?pk. Substitute and solve.
