Question

a chef fills a container with 50 ml of cooking oil. the mass of the oil is 43.5 g. what is the density of the oil?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall density formula

Density formula is $
ho = \frac{m}{V}$, where $
ho$ is density, $m$ is mass, $V$ is volume.
Given $m = 43.5\ g$, $V = 50\ ml$ (since $1\ ml = 1\ cm^3$, volume in $cm^3$ is also 50).

Step2: Substitute values into formula

Substitute $m = 43.5\ g$ and $V = 50\ cm^3$ into $
ho = \frac{m}{V}$.
$
ho = \frac{43.5\ g}{50\ cm^3}$

Step3: Calculate the density

$\frac{43.5}{50} = 0.87\ g/cm^3$ (or $0.87\ g/ml$ since $1\ ml = 1\ cm^3$)

Answer:

The density of the oil is $0.87\ g/cm^3$ (or $0.87\ g/ml$)
