A carpenter has two pieces of wood. He wants to find the density of each piece. The first piece came from a birch tree. The piece of birch wood measures 2 meters by 4 meters by 3 meters and weighs (mass) 16 kilograms.

The second piece came from a cypress tree. The piece of cypress wood measures 3 meters by 5 meters by 2 meters and weighs (mass) 15.3 kilograms.

Which piece of wood has a greater density?

The wood from the birch tree has a greater density than the wood that came from the cypress tree.

Step-by-step explanation:

Density formula: mass/volume

2 times 4 times 3=24 meters for the volume

Birch tree: 16/24 is the density

3 times 5 times 2=30 meters for the volume

Cypress tree: 15.3/30 is the density

If we convert the densities of each piece of wood to decimal it will be easier to determine which has a greater density.

So birch tree: 0.6 repeating is the density

Cypress tree: 0.51 is the density

Therefore the wood that came from the birch tree has a greater density than the wood that came from the cypress tree.

Hope I helped, have a nice day :)

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
