What is it's volume in Liters? (Give answer in correct significant digits)
2) If one kilogram is equal to 2.2 pounds:
a. What is the mass of a 5.0 lb bag of sugar?
1. Volume of wood box = 50.0cm x 50.0cm x 45.0cm.
= 112500 cm3
1 cm3 = 1 mL = 10-3 L
= 112500 * 10-3 L
= 112.5 L
= 112 L to three significant figures
2. 1 kg = 2.2 lb
1 lb = 1/2.2 kg
5 lb = (1/2.2) * 5 kg
= 2.2727 kg
