Question

An object had a mass of 8.5 g and a volume of 17 mL. What is the density of the object?

Answer 1

That would be 0.5 g/ml because Density is equal to mass divided by volume and 8.5 is half of 17. 

Answer 2

0.5 g/ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

• First we define density

Density (mass / volume) is a scalar magnitude referred to the amount of mass in a given volume of a substance.

Now if we have the mass is 8.5g. and occupies a volume of 17 ml.

to find the density we must find its mass / volume relation

`d=(8.5g)/(17ml)= 0.5 g/m`
