Joanna fills a glass with 30 grams of water. She pours the water into a tray to make ice cubes.

The tray has room to make 6 ice cubes. Joanna is careful not to spill any of the water as she pours it into the tray with an equal amount in each cube of the tray.

How much mass should each of the ice cubes have?
A.
10 grams
B.
30 grams
C.
0 grams
D.
5 grams

1 answer

To find the mass of each ice cube, we can divide the total mass of the water by the number of ice cubes.

Joanna has a total of 30 grams of water and is making 6 ice cubes.

So, the mass of each ice cube can be calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Mass of each ice cube} = \frac{\text{Total mass of water}}{\text{Number of ice cubes}} = \frac{30 \text{ grams}}{6} = 5 \text{ grams} \]

Therefore, the answer is D. 5 grams.
