Answer:
1 cubic inch cost = $0.80
1 pound of cost = $1.65
Explanation:
given data
76.00 pound mercury costs = $125.50
density of mercury = 13.534 g/cm³
solution
we get here 1 pound of cost that is
1 pound of cost = [tex]\frac{125.50}{76}[/tex]
1 pound of cost = $1.65
or
453.5 gram cost = $1.65
now we get volume of flask
volume of flask = 76 × [tex]\frac{453.5}{13.534}[/tex]
volume of flask = 2546.62 cm³ = 155.40 cubic inch
so 155.40 cubic inch cost = $125.50
and 1 cubic inch cost = [tex]\frac{125.50}{155.40}[/tex]
1 cubic inch cost = $0.80
