Answer:


d=1200\ lb/ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The weight of the statue, m = 96 lb

The volume of the statue = 0.08 ft³

We need to find the statue’s weight density. We know that the density of an object is the mass of an object divided by its volume. So,


d=(m)/(V)\\\\d=(96\ lb)/(0.08\ ft^3)\\\\d=1200\ lb/ft^3

So, the density of the statue is equal to
1200\ lb/ft^3.
