Answer:

m = 7.5 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The density of the rock, m = 1.5 g/mL

The volume displaced by the rock, V = 5 mL

We need to find the mass of the rock. The density of an object is equal to its mass divided by its volume. So,


d=(m)/(V)\\\\m=d* V\\\\m=1.5* 5\\\\m=7.5\ g

So, the mass of the rock is 7.5 grams.
