Answer:
a) 1805.55$
b) 2.14$
c)0.005$
d)0.064$
e)1805.55$
Step-by-step explanation:
Density of mercury is 844.9 lb/ft3.
a) 76 pound flask of mercury is 76/844.9=0.09 ft^3. 0.09 ft^3 mercury cost 162.5$, then 1 ft^3 mercury is
[tex]p=(162.5/0.09)=1805.55[/tex]
1805.55$
b) One pound of mercury is 2.14$
[tex]p=162.5/76=2.14[/tex]
c)76 pound equals 34473 grams. It makes:
[tex]p=162.5/34473=0.005[/tex]
0.005$ is the price of one gram mercury.
d)Total amount of mercury is 34473 grams. Then total volume of mercury is:
[tex]V=34473/13.534=2547.14[/tex]
2547.14 cm3. And the unit price is:
[tex]p=162.5/2547.14=0.064[/tex]
e) 1805.55$. It is found already.
