Landon's new toy arrived in the mail covered in foam packing peanuts. The foam packing peanuts have a mass of 30 g and a volume of 60 cm3. What is the density? 2 g/cm3

180 g/cm

3 0.5 g/cm

3 2

The formula for calculating density is P=M/V where P is the density, M is the mass, and V is the volume.

The problem gives you the mass, 30g, and the volume, 60cm^3; you can plug those into the equation, which should give you P=30/60.

Your answer should end up being P=0.5 g/cm^3.

WORK:

P=M/V

P=30g/60cm^3

P=0.5g/cm^3
