Gold has a density of 19.31 g/cm3. What is the mass of a sample of gold which displaces 70.8 mL of water?
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "1 mL and 1 cm³ are identical.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the sample of gold displaces 70.8 cm³ of water.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore the proportion in words is:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "19.31 grams of gold is to 1 cm³ of gold \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "             as \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "X grams of gold is to 70.8 cm³ of gold\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "And in symbols:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"19.31%2F1=X%2F70.8\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Cross-multiply:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"X+=+19.31%2A70.8\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"X+=+1367.148\"grams\r\n" );
