Answer: the volume of the metal is 5.02 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires us to calculate the volume of a sample which density is 92 g/mL and mass is 462 g.

Measurements > Density

The density of a substance is defined as the ratio between its mass and volume:


density=(mass)/(volume)

We can rearrange the equation above to calculate the volume of a sample from its density and mass:


density=(mass)/(volume)\rightarrow volume=(mass)/(density)

And, applying the values of mass and density given by the question, we'll have:


volume=(mass)/(density)\rightarrow volume=(462g)/(92g/mL)=5.02mL

Therefore, the volume of the metal is 5.02 mL.
