Learn how to calculate the volume of a tin box using a simple and fun step-by-step guide. Understand the concepts of density, mass, and volume in an engaging manner.
Alright, let's break this down step by step in a fun and easy way!
First, let's imagine you have a magical tin box that you can shrink or expand as you like. This box is pretty special because it is really heavy for its size!
Now, we know that the tin box has a density of 7.15 grams per cubic centimeter. Density is like how tightly packed the atoms are inside the box. The denser it is, the heavier it is for its size!
The box also has a mass of 429 grams. Mass is like how heavy something is. So, if you pick up the box, you can feel its weight!
To find the volume of the box, we need to use a special formula: density = mass ÷ volume. In our case, we are trying to find the volume, so we rearrange the formula to volume = mass ÷ density.
Now, all we have to do is divide the mass (429 grams) by the density (7.15 grams/cubic centimeter) to get the volume of the tin box. The answer will be in cubic centimeters, perfect for our magical tin box!
