Answer: The density of object is 12.38 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate density of a substance, we use the equation:


\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

We are given:

Mass of object = 149.8 g

Volume of object = 12.1 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:


\text{Density of object}=(149.8g)/(12.1mL)=12.38g/mL

Hence, the density of object is 12.38 g/mL
