One clay brick weighs 5.4 pounds. The brick is 4 inches long and 2 1/ 4 inches wide. If the clay weighs 0.02 pounds per cubic inch, what is the volume of the brick? Round your answer to the nearest integer.

Respuesta :

Answer:

270 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Mass of the clay brick = 5.4 pounds

Density = 0.02 pounds per cubic inch

Length of the brick = 4 inch

Width = [tex]$2\frac{1}{4}$[/tex] inch

We know, density = mass / volume

Or Volume = mass / density

                  = 5.4 / 0.02

                 = 270 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the brick is 270 cubic inches.
