Question 118799: water volumes increases 9% when it freezes.If 400 cm cube of water are frozen,hw much will the volume increase?what will be the volume of the ice? Answer by HyperBrain(694) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! water volumes increases 9% when it freezes
So, if the volume of water is x, the increase is 0.09x and thus, the volume of ice will be x+0.09x
applying,
x=400
0.09x=0.09*400=36
So, the volume will increase by 36
Now, x+0.09x=400+36=436
