A wooden block has a mass of 115 grams, correct to the nearest gram.
The volume of the block is 6 cm^3, correct to the nearest cm^3.
Find the largest possible density of the block in g/cm^3.
Density=MassVolume\text{Density} = \dfrac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} Answer ... g/cm^3

1. Find the upper bound of the mass and the lower bound of the volume.

Mass is 115115 g correct to the nearest gram, so
114.5≤m<115.5.114.5 \leq m < 115.5.
Volume is 66 cm3^3 correct to the nearest cm3^3, so
5.5≤V<6.5.5.5 \leq V < 6.5.
For the largest density, use m=115.5m=115.5 and V=5.5V=5.5.

2. Calculate the largest possible density.

Density=MassVolume\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}
Largest possible density=115.55.5=21.\text{Largest possible density}=\frac{115.5}{5.5}=21.

Answer

2121 g/cm3^3
