The aluminum in a package containing 76 of kitchen foil weighs approximately 13 ounces. aluminum has a density of 2.70 . what is the approximate thickness of the aluminum foil in millimeters?

Respuesta :

The approximate thickness of the aluminum foil in millimeters is 0.0193 mm when aluminum in a package containing 76 [tex]ft^{2}[/tex] of kitchen foil weighs approximately 13 ounces. aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/[tex]cm^{3}[/tex]

Calculation ,

The thickness of aluminium foil is calculated by following steps ,

First:  13 oz  ×  28.4 g/oz  =  369.2 g

Second: 369.2 g ×  1[tex]cm^{3}[/tex]/2.7g  =  136.74 [tex]cm^{3}[/tex]

Third:  76 [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]  ×  12 in/ft ×  12 in/ft  × 2.54 cm/in  × 2.54 cm/in  =   70606.3104 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

Fourth: 70606.3104 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex] × Thickness  = 136.74 [tex]cm^{3}[/tex]

Solve for Thickness: 136.74 [tex]cm^{3}[/tex]/ 70606.3104 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]  =  0.00193 cm

Last:  0.00193 cm  × 10 mm/1 cm  =  0.0193 mm

Notice how I have to multiply [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]  twice by the conversion factor, because  [tex]ft^{2}[/tex] is just ft x ft, and I have to cancel each one. Same goes for [tex]cm^{2}[/tex] .
