A cooler has a capacity of 5500 ml. What is the capacity in Liters?
Ethyl alcohol has density of 0.79 g/ml. What is the volume in ml of 1.5kg of alcohol?
How many ml of olive oil (d=0.92g/ml)
weigh the same as 1.2L of gasoline (d=0.66g/ml)
5500 ml 1 Lx 1000ml
= 5.5 L
1000 g1.5 kg x 1 kg
1 mlx 0.79 g
= 1900 ml
1.2 L gas 1000 mlx 1 L
0.66 gx 1 ml
= 792 g gas
mass of olive oil = mass of gasoline = 792 g 1 ml792 g oil x 0.92 g
= 860 ml
