Question 1062735: Sandra’s mother bought her a cylindrical sugar container for her bakery. The container has a height of 1 meter and a radius of .25 meters. When the container is full, the sugar inside weighs 3 kg. What is the density of the sugar in kilograms per cubic meter?
Use the approximation of 3.14 for π in your calculations and round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Use the approximation of 3.14 for π in your calculations and round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Volume V = pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah = 3.14%2A0.25%5E2%2A1 = 0.19625 m^3.

Density = 3_kg%2FV = 3%2F0.19625 = 15.287 kg%2Fm%5E3.

For the comparison, the water density is about 1000 kg%2Fm%5E3.

Actually, as Wikipedia says, the sugar density is 1.59 g%2Fcm%5E3, which is 1.59*10^3 kg%2Fm%5E3.

So, there is a HUGE error in your input data.
