So we know that the equation for density is:

D=(m)/(V)

where D is the density, m is the mass in grams, and V is the volume in mL.

So since we know two of the variables, mass and density, we can solve for the volume:

(1.020g)/(mL)=(147g)/(V)

V=(147g)/((1.020g)/(mL))

V=144.12mL

Therefore, the volume of this urine sample is 144.12mL.
