The mass of one liter of water is 1 kg, the mass of snowflakes is 2 g. Imagine that a thousand snowflakes
The mass of one liter of water is 1 kg, the mass of snowflakes is 2 g. Imagine that a thousand snowflakes have fallen into your palm. How many milliliters of water will you get if you melt all these snowflakes.
First of all, we need to find the number of milliliters of water that is formed when 10 snowflakes melt.
1) 2 * 1 = 2 (milliliters) – when 10 snowflakes melt.
Now let’s deal with the next question, find out how many times the weight of 1000 snowflakes is heavier than 10.
2) 1000: 10 = 100 (times) – 1000 snowflakes by mass are more than 10.
It only remains to answer the last question of the problem. How many milliliters will be obtained from all the melted snowflakes.
3) 100 * 2 = 200 (milliliters) – you get water from the total amount of melted snowflakes.
Answer: melted snowflakes will make 200 milliliters of water.
