Question:

Help me with this dimensional analysis problem?

I need help with a chemistry problemWhen I try to work it out I get numbers that just confuse meCan someone help me solve this problem?The aluminum foil in a package containing 75 square feet of foil weighs 12 ouncesAluminum has a density of 2,70g/cm?What is the approximate thickness of the foil in mm?Thank you

Answer:

i didnt know corn came on the cop but u better take the corn off the cop and the cop outta the fridge or ull get arressted
I would like to try corn on the cop!
You can always fix Mexi-CornBasically its just your cornAnd had some peppers (green and red) and add a can of Rotel (diced tomatoes and chilies).
Green Chili Enchiladas 1 lb ground beef 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 lb longhorn cheese, grated 1 cup onions, chopped 1 dozen flour tortillas 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup 3/4 cup evaporated milk 1/2 lb processed cheese, grated 1 (1 ounce) package green onion dip mix 1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, chopped 1 (2 ounce) jar pimientos, chopped 1Brown ground meat with salt and garlic powder in skillet, stirring frequently 2Add longhorn cheese and onion, mixing well 3Spoon ground beef mixture onto tortillas, roll tightly to enclose filling 4Place in buttered 8 x 10-inch baking dish 5Heat soup, evaporated milk and process cheese in saucepan until cheese melts, stirring constantly 6Add dip mix, chilies and pimento, mixing well 7Pour cheese sauce over enchiladas 8Bake covered, at 350 degrees for 30 minutesServe corn as a side.
It says: Area: 75 sqftWeight: 12 oz(340.1943g) Density: 2,700g per cubic cm Solving: An area of 75 sqftis equal to 8.66 by 8.66 feet, which is 263.96442 by 263.96442 cmThat is equal to 69,677.215 cm2 That is equal to 14.1494 cm3 That many cubic cm [times] the 2,700g per cm3 equals 111,103.38 gramsBut it says the weight of the aluminum foil is 340.1942775 gramsIt says the aluminum weighs 2/653 the weight our answer saysWell when we said the volume was however many cubic cm, and changed it to area, the thickness was changed to 1 cm thickSo for the weight to be 2/653 the weight our answer says, the thickness has to be 2/653 of a cm thickOr 20/653 mm thickSo that's how thick the aluminum foil is20/653 mm thickThere was a lot of estimating, but I tried to use some of the digits behind the decimal, so if my answer is off, they might count it as correct.
