Answer:

The weight of the mentioned silver bar is:

  • 25.68 Lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the formula of density is:

  • Density = mass / volume.

From this formula, you can clear the mass (because this is the valor you need to solve the exercise), so you will have:

  • Mass = density * volume

With this last formula, you must replace the values given in the exercise:

  • Mass = density * volume
  • Mass = 0.04 lb/cm^3 * 642  cm^3
  • Mass = 25.68 Lb

You can check this value using the original formula of density and see if the density has the same valor of the exercise:

  • Density = mass / volume.
  • Density = 25.68 Lb / 642 cm^3
  • Density = 0.04 Lb / cm^3
