A clay plate has a volume of 150cubic centimeters and a density of 2.4gramspercubic centimeter. What is its mass?

1. Break Down the Problem

We need to find the mass of the clay plate given its volume and density. The mass can be calculated using the formula: $\text{Mass} = \text{Density} \times \text{Volume}$

2. Relevant Concepts

• Density: The mass per unit volume of a material.
• Volume: The amount of space that a substance occupies.

3. Analysis and Detail

Given:

• Volume $V = 150 \, \text{cm}^3$
• Density $D = 2.4 \, \text{g/cm}^3$

We will substitute these values into the mass formula:

$\text{Mass} = 2.4 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \times 150 \, \text{cm}^3$

Calculating the multiplication:

$\text{Mass} = 2.4 \times 150 = 360 \, \text{grams}$

4. Verify and Summarize

We confirm the calculation:

• $2.4 \times 150 = 360$ is accurate.

Final Answer

The mass of the clay plate is $360 \, \text{grams}$.
