Question

If the mass of a material is 98 grams and the volume of the material is 12 cm3, what would the density of the material be?

Answer 1

The answer is 8.17g/cm³
Density is defined as mass per unit of volume. With that definition, you can come up with the formula:


`D= (m)/(v)`

Where:
D = density
m = mass
v = volume

Based on the problem, your given is as follows:
m=98g
v= 12cm³

All you need to do is input the data that you know into the formula and solve for what you don't know:


`D= (m)/(v)`

`D= (98g)/(12cm^(3))`

`D= 8.17g/cm^(3)`
