Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not sure if you have learned this yet, but using dimensional analysis (DA) for this problem makes everything so. much. easier! (I'll share a good video in the comments if you don't know what it is)
Okay, so we're given a 50,145 [tex]cm^{3}[/tex] statue, and we want to see how much it'll cost if it's $0.35 per kg, with a conversion factor of 2.6 [tex]g/cm^{3}[/tex].
First, with the conversion factor, I'll set up a dimensional analysis.
[tex]50,145 cm^{3} * \frac{2.6 g}{cm^{3} }[/tex]
cancel out the cm^3, and multiply the top two numbers. I used a calculator:
130377 g
We're not done yet! The question asks for how much it is in kg, not g. We could use D.A. , but g to kg is pretty easy. just put a decimal three paces in.
130.377 g = 130.377 kg
Now, either use D.A. to show your work, or just simply multiply.
130.377*0.35= $45.63
I think this is the right answer... Any questions, please comment!
