Answer:

ρ

=

8

g

/

c

m

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is given by the ratio of a(n) object/substance's mass to volume.

ρ

=

m

v

Typical units of density are

k

g

/

m

3

and

g

/

c

m

3

. Because we are given the mass in grams and the volume in milliliters, we'll use

g

/

c

m

3

. One mL is equivalent to one cubic centimeter.

Therefore, we have:

ρ

=

200

g

25

c

m

3

=

8

g

/

c

m

3

The density is

8

grams per cubic centimeter.
