Answer:

400 cm³

Explanation:

You want to know the volume of a 100 g sample of foam with a density of 0.25 g/cm³.

Volume

The relation between volume, mass, and density is ...

density = mass/volume

Solving for volume gives ...

volume = mass/density

Application

Using the given values, we find the volume of the foam to be ...

volume = (100 g)/(0.25 g/cm³) = 400 cm³

The volume of the foam is 400 cm³.
