Question
The density of a metal is 8.67 g/cm. How many pounds are in 298.86 in of the metal?
(You can use the conversion factor approach. Or, you can convert density in g/cm? to Ib/in and then thultiply the result times number
of pounds.
2.52 cm 1 inch
454 g = 1 lb
Please see 'answers to extra problems' question 10 for hints on how to do this.)
You need to write your answer in the box with one number past the decimal.
Please don't worry about the sig figs in this case. In these formula problems, the Canvas software will give a variety of questions and
each student gets their data with different sig figs. So I just have to choose and sometimes it might seem that one past the decimal is
not the correct sig figs. Nonetheless, you have to follow that direction.
