Step-by-step explanation:

Greetings !

Firstly, recall density-volume equation


p = (m)/(v)

Where

  • p\rho = density
  • m = mass
  • V = volume

Given value:-

  • m=2kg
  • p=0.9250g/cm³

Required values:-

  • V=?

Solution/ work-out

But first to preceded change the mass from kg to g in order to solve the problem

Thus, 1kg=100

2kg=200g, Now you can solve by plugging in the given values to the equation


p = (m)/(v) \\ pv = m

divide both sides bydensity


(pv)/(p) = (m)/(p) \\ v = (m)/(p)

So, now plug in the given values and solve for the volume


v = (200)/(0.9250)

v=216.216cm³

Hope it helps !
