The density of glycerin is 1.26 Grams/cm^3. How many lbs/ ft is this? Use the conversion rates of 454g/1 lbs and 28317 cm^3/ 1 ft^3 . Express your answer to the correct number of significant figures. The density is .

Hello!

The answer is:

The density is equal to:

[tex]78.6\frac{lb}{ft^{3} }[/tex]

Why?

This a unit conversion problem, so, converting  the density  of glycerin from [tex]gram/cm^{3}[/tex] to [tex]\frac{lb}{ft^{3}}[/tex]  using the given conversion rates, we have:

[tex]1.26\frac{gram}{cm^{3}}*\frac{1lb}{454gram}*\frac{28317cm^{3} }{1ft^{3} }=78.59\frac{lb}{ft^{3} }[/tex]

Rounding to three significant figures, we have that the density is equal to:

[tex]78.6\frac{lb}{ft^{3} }[/tex]

Have a nice day!

78.6

The density is 78.6
