An engineer is working with archaeologists to create a realistic Roman village in a museum. The plan for a balance in a marketplace calls for 100 granite stones, each weighing 10 denarium. (The denarium was a Roman unit of mass:1 denarium = 3.396 g.) The manufacturing process for making the stones will remove 20% of the material. If the graniteto be used has a density of 2.75 g/cm3, what is the minimumvolume of granite that the engineer should order?
