Answer:

2gcm⁻³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the object = 20g

Volume = 10mL

Unknown:

Density of the object = ?

Solution:

Density of a body is its mass per unit volume;

Density =
(mass)/(volume)

We need to convert mL to cm³ for the volume

1mL = 1cm³;

10mL is therefore, 10cm³

So;

Density =
(20)/(10) = 2gcm⁻³
