The density is defined like:

Density = mass / volume

We know the volume of gasoline and the density. Using that formula we can find the mass that is our unknown.

mass of gasoline = ?

density of gasoline = 0.800 kg/L

volume of gasoline = 246.44 L

Density = mass/volume

mass = volume * density

mass = 246.44 L * 0.800 kg/L

mass = 197.2 kg

Answer: we have 197.2 kg in 246.44 L of gasoline.
