Answer:

3.45g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance/object can be calculated by using the formula:

Density = mass/volume

Where;

Density = g/cm³

Mass = grams

Volume = cm³

According to this question, a student measured the mass and volume of an object using a triple beam balance and a graduated cylinder. The sample has a mass of 22.4 grams and a volume of 6.5cm³.

Hence, the density of the object can be calculated this;

Density = mass/volume

Density = 22.4/6.5

Density = 3.4461

To the nearest hundredth, the density of the object = 3.45g/cm³
