Question 590827: QUESTIONS:
1. The density of a cube is given by: d=ms^-3
where m is the mass of the cube (in grams) and s is the length of a side (in centimeters).
1(a) Solve the equation for s.
1(b) A cube of ice has a mass of 7.336 grams and a side length of 2 centimeters. Use the equation to find the density of the ice.
1(c) Use the value of d you found in 1(b) to determine the side length for a cube of ice with mass 24.759 grams.
1(d) Use the value of d you found in 1(b) to determine the mass of a cube of ice with side length of 4 centimeters.
MY ANSWERS:
1(a) I'm not exactly sure how to solve this one.
1(b) d=0.917
1(c) s=3
1(d) m=58.688

a)
d=ms%5E%28-3%29

d=m%2F%28s%5E3%29

ds%5E3=m

s%5E3=m%2Fd

s=root%283%2Cm%2Fd%29
