Density is defined as the mass per unit volume.
formula is as follows

density = (mass)/(volume)
we have been given the density and volume so we need to find the mass of ethylene glycol
if we rearrange the equation making mass the subject
mass = density x volume
density = 1.11 g/cm³
this means that 1 cm³ of solution has a mass of 1.11 g
since mL = cm³
therefore 387 cm³ of solution has a mass of 1.11 g/cm³ x 387 cm³ = 429.6 g
mass of ethylene glycol is 429.6 g
