We can use the density formula to find the irregularly shaped object's density.

The formula is:


\rho=(m)/(V)

Where

p (rho) is the density

m is mass

V is volume

Given,

V = 3 mL

m = 12 grams

Substituting, we get:


\begin{gathered} \rho=(m)/(V) \\ \rho=(12)/(3) \\ \rho=4\text{ grams/mL} \end{gathered}

The density is 4 grams/mL
