Question 900459: In the manafacturing of computer chips, cylinders of silicon are cut into thin wafers that are 3.00 inches in diameter and have a mass of 1.50 grams of silicon. How thick in millmeters is each wafer if silicon has a density of 2.33 grams per centimeter cubed?
Is there a way to show how you got the answer so I can see how it was done?

In the manafacturing of computer chips, cylinders of silicon are cut into thin wafers that are 3.00 inches in diameter and have a mass of 1.50 grams of silicon. How thick in millmeters is each wafer if silicon has a density of 2.33 grams per centimeter cubed?
----
Let the thickness be "t".
Volume of a wafer = area*t = (pi*1.5^2*t) = 2.25pi*t cu.inches
------
Note: 1 cubic inch = 16.39 cu cm
-------
Volume of wafer = 2.25*16.39*pi*t = 37.88pi*t cu cm
-----
Using the conversion that says each cu cm = 2.33 grams, use
the unit multiplier to solve for "t"::
----------------------------------------------
((37.88 pi)*t cu cm)(2.33 grams/cu cm) = 1.5 grams
-----
t = 0.0054 cm
