An empty beaker weighs 31.89 g. When completely filled with water, the beaker and its contents have a total mass of 305.55 g. What volume does the beaker hold?
Use d = 1.00 g/mL as the density of water.

Explanation:

difference of masses - (305.55-3189)g = 273.66g

density of water = 1g/mL.

therefore, volume = m/density (ρ)

= 273.66/1 = 273.66mL.

so, the beaker can hold 273.66mL.

hope this helps you.

linda: 3 ; laura: 15

step-by-step explanation:

note that linda + laura's age is 18, and that linda is 12 years younger than her sister.

let "linda" = x , "laura" = y:

x + y = 18

x = y - 12

first, plug in y - 12 for x in the first equation:

(y - 12) + y = 18

simplify.

2y - 12 = 18

isolate the variable (y). note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. do the opposite of pemdas. first add, then divide.

2y - 12 (+12) = 18 (+12)

2y = 18 + 12

2y = 30

(2y)/2 = (30)/2

y = 30/2

y = 15

next, plug in 15 for y in the second equation (the other equation would work too).

x = y - 12

x = (15) - 12

x = 3

linda's age is 3, laura's age is 15.
