Answer: The density of rock is 3.60 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

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


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

We are given:

Mass of rock = 47.6 g

Volume of rock = 13.2 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:


\text{Density of rock}=(47.6g)/(13.2mL)\\\\\text{Density of rock}=3.60g/mL

Hence, the density of rock is 3.60 g/mL

The formula of density is;Density = Mass / VolumeDetermine the given:Mass = 47.6 gVolume = 13.2 mLSolution:D = Mass / VolumeD = 47.6 g / 13.2 mLD ≈ 3.61 g/mLSo, the density we get is approximately 3.61 g/mL
