Answer:


2.11 \: \: gram \: per \: cm {}^(3)

The density is 2.11 g/cm^3

Explanation:

Density is the ratio of the mass of a body per volume. To find density we need mass and volume.

side given (l) =6 cm

Volume of the cube = l^3

= 6^3

= 6 * 6 * 6

= 216 cm^3

we have mass = 457 g

Now,

density= mass/volume

= 457/216

=2.11

Soo, the density is 2.11 g/cm^3

Answer: 8.1 g/cm

Explanation:

Density is equal to mass divided by volume. You are given a mass of

64.7

grams. You can find the volume of the cube by doing height multiplied by width multiplied by the depth.

Because all of the sides of a cube are the same length, the volume just ends up being

(2 cm) = 8 cm

Now plug both of those numbers into your density equation

p= m/v = 64.7 g/8 cm = 8.1 g/cm

~Hope this helps ;0~
