The aluminum in a package containing 75^2 of kitchen foil weighs approximately 12ozAluminum has a density of 2.70 g/cm^3What is the approximate thickness of the aluminum in millimeters? thx in advance, this question doesnt add upI got the mass and divide by density to get the volume but the area is larger than the volume, it doesnt make any sense
Of course the area is larger numerically than the volume, because the thickness is less than 1You don't give the unit of measure of the foil sizeso it is hard to tell exactly what the result should be, but a thickness of a fraction of a millimeter would be typicalYou can get the volume in cubic centimeters (I get about 127), and divide by the area in square centimeters to get the thickness in centimeters.
