A sample of oak has a density of 807 kilograms per cubic meter. The sample is in the shape of a cube, where each edge has a length of 0.90 meters. To the nearest whole number, what is the mass, in kilograms, of this sample?

Correct answer: A. 588

  • A. 588
  • B. 726
  • C. 897
  • D. 1,107

Explanation

To find the mass of the cube, calculate the volume first by cubing the edge length to get 0.729 cubic meters. Then, multiply this volume by the density of 807 kilograms per cubic meter to obtain a mass of 588.303 kilograms. Rounding this to the nearest whole number gives 588 kilograms, making Option A the correct answer. The incorrect options stem from errors such as inaccurate volume calculation, incorrect multiplication, or improper rounding.
