Write your answer as a whole number. $\square$ grams
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the given values
We are given the density and volume of the powdered sugar:
Density (\(\rho\)) = 0.52 grams per cubic centimeter
Volume (\(V\)) = 250 cubic centimeters
Step 2: Use the formula for mass
The formula to calculate mass (\(m\)) is:
\[ m = \rho \times V \]
Step 3: Substitute the given values into the formula
Substitute \(\rho = 0.52 \, \text{g/cm}^3\) and \(V = 250 \, \text{cm}^3\) into the formula:
\[ m = 0.52 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \times 250 \, \text{cm}^3 \]
