The formula for density is p=m/V

p is density

m is mass

V is volume ( *this has to be capital to mean the same*)


We know the mass m is 2g

and the Volume V is 6 mL

So divided 2/6

p= 0.33333 g/mL

your density is 0.333333g/mL

Make sure to check your significant figures if that applies. It is 1/3 or 0.3 repeating for eternity. Also make sure to put g/mL as a classification.
