What is the volume when 

[

the density of lead pipes is 11.4 g/cm³

]

2.40 kg

of lead pipes are melted, then cooled into a solid cube?

Answer 1

The formatting here is a little goofy but I think you are asking what the volume is of 2.40 kg of lead in a solid cube (using a density of 11.4 g/cm³). Unfortunately, you don't specify what units the answer needs to be in. I'm going to guess that cubic centimeters is correct.

We need to get the mass converted to the same units as used in the density. There are 1000 g in a kg so 2.40 kg = 2400 grams. Density is mass/volume so to find volume we do mass/density.

V = 2400 grams/11.4 g/cm³

V = 211 cm³
