Answer:

My answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

by using a density triangle, you would have to cover up the density and then it will show you, m over v. so that means you would have to divide.

Density can be determined by the mass of an object and how much it takes up space (volume). It is represented by the formula D = M/V where D is the density in kg/m^3 or lb/ft^3, M is the mass in kg or lb and V is the volume in m^3 or ft^3. The answer would be A. For example, you are given the mass of an object of 40.5kg and a volume of 15m^3. Find its density.

D = M/V
D = (40.5 kg) / (15 m^3)
D = 27/10 or 2.7 kg/m^3
