Final answer:
To find the volume when given the mass and density, divide the mass (250 g) by the density (0.25 g/cm³) to get the volume, which is 1000 cm³.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the volume of an object when the overall density of an object is 0.25 g/cm³ and the mass is 250 g, you would use the formula for density (D) which is D = mass (m) / volume (V). Since we want to find the volume, we can rearrange the formula to have volume on one side: V = m / D.
For this specific problem:
- Mass (m) = 250 g
- Density (D) = 0.25 g/cm³
- Volume (V) = m / D
Plugging the given values into the formula gives us:
V = 250 g / 0.25 g/cm³ = 1000 cm³
Therefore, the volume of the object is 1000 cm³.
