Answer:

The answer is 0.833333333 but, to nearest hundredth place is it 0.83.

Explanation:

I don't know how they call it in your school but, what we are going to do right now is called long division.

The mass would be the dividend (25) and the volume (30) would be the divisor and the density would be the quotient.
