Susan is investigating physical changes. To do this, she places some ice into a large bowl and seals it with a lid. She leaves the bowl on the counter for several hours until all of the ice has melted. Using a balance, Susan determines that the mass of both the water and the ice are equal. Why is the mass of the ice and the water the same? (SC.8.P.9.1)

In november 1987, a massive iceberg broke loose from the antartic ice mass and floated free in the ocean. the chunk of ice was estimated to be 98 mi long, 25 mi wide, and 750 ft thick. a typical backyard swimming pool contains about 24,000 gallons of water. how many of these pools could you fill from the water in this iceberg? (assume the iceberg is a rectangular solid of the above dimensions and consists of water only). express answer in scientific notation.
