Answer:x = 0.028571 cm3
Step-by-step explanation:
I the density is constant and a mass of 3.5 g takes up 1 cubic centimeter, how much volume will a mass of 0.20 g take (in cubit centimeters)?
So, let x be the volume in cubit centimeters.
the mass is to the volume is as the mass is to the volume
3.5g /(1 cm3) = 0,1g / (x cm3)
Cross-multiply to get:
3.5x = 0.1
x = 0.1 / 3.5 (divide both sides by 3.5)
x = 0.028571 cm3 (you probably should round this, but diamonds are expensive !)
