Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert pounds to grams, use the conversion factor 1 pound = 453.592 grams. Thus, 0.897 pounds is 0.897 * 453.592 = 406.975 grams. To convert cubic inches to milliliters, use the conversion factor 1 inch^3 = 16.387 mL. Thus, 13.5 inch^3 is 13.5 * 16.387 = 221.2255 mL. Density is mass/volume, so the density is 406.975 grams / 221.2255 mL = 1.839 g/mL, which rounds to 1.84 g/mL.
