m - mass: 1,29 kg
V - volume: 2 L
d - density: ?
______________
d = m/V
d = 1,29/2
d = 0,645 kg/L = 0,645 g/mL

Answer: 0.645 g/ml

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 gasoline = 1.29 kg = 1290 g
1kg=1000g

Volume of gasoline = 2 L =2000 ml
1L=1000mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:


Density=(1290g)/(2000ml)=0.645g/ml

Hence, the density of gasoline in g/ml is 0.645.
