If a recycling center collects 1188 aluminium cans and there are 22 aluminium cans in 1 pound, what volume, in liters, of aluminum was collected?

Respuesta :

Answer:

9.08 L

Explanation:

Mass of 22 aluminium can is 1 lb.

So, 22 can = 1 lb

Therefore, calculate the mass of 1188 aluminium cans as follows:

[tex]mass\ of\ 1188\ cans=1188\ cans\times\frac{1\ lb}{22\ cans} \\=54\ lb[/tex]

1 lb = 454 g

Therefore, mass of aluminium can = 54 × 454 = 24,516‬ g

Volume = mass/density

Density of aluminum is [tex]2.7\ g/cm^3[/tex]

[tex]volume=\frac{24,516‬}{2.7} \\=9080\ cm^3[/tex]

[tex]1\ cm^3=0.001\ L[/tex]

Therefore, volume in L = 9.08 L
