The density of an object is mass / volume. These units are unusual but since you are reporting your answer in kg/L, the actual conversion is unnecessary

d = m/V
d = 7.2 kg / 9 L
d = 0.8 kg / L

Answer:

Density of the liquid is 0.8 kg/L

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of liquid, m = 7.2 kg

Volume of liquid, v = 9 L

We have to find the density of liquid. Density of a liquid is defined as the ratio of mass per unit volume. Mathematically, it can be written as :


\rho=(m)/(V)


\rho=(7.2\ kg)/(9\ L)


\rho=0.8\ kg/L

So, the density of the liquid is 0.8 kg/L. Hence, this is the required solution.
