Question

The formula for density of an object is given by D = m/v where D is density, m is mass, and V is volume. Solve the formula for V.

Answer 1

The formula for the density of an object is given by

`D=(m)/(V)`

Where D is the density, m is the mass and V is the volume.

We are asked to solve the formula for V.

Step 1:

Multiply both sides of the equation by V then simplify

`\begin{gathered} VD=(mV)/(V) \\ VD=m \end{gathered}`

Step 2:

Divide both sides of the equation by D then simplify

`\begin{gathered} (VD)/(D)=(m)/(D) \\ V=(m)/(D) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, we have solved the formula for V.

`V=(m)/(D)`

The first option is the correct one.
