Answer:

volume in cubic centimeters = 30 cm³

Explanation:

Ratio of mass to volume = 27 g : 10 cm³

what is the volume in cubic centimeters of the sample of metal if mass = 81 g

Let

volume in cubic centimeters = v

Ratio of mass to volume = 81 g : v

Equate both ratios

27 g : 10 cm³ = 81 g : v

27/10 = 81/v

Cross product

27 * v = 10 * 81

27v = 810

v = 810/27

v = 30 cm³

volume in cubic centimeters = 30 cm³
