Question

A slice of cheese has a mass of 40 g and a volume of 23 cm^3. What is the density of the cheese in units of g/cm^3 and g/mL?

Answer 1

The mathematical and proportional relationship between mL and
`cm ^ 3` said us that
`1cm ^ 3` is equivalent to 1mL.

If the density is considered as the amount of mass per unit volume we will have to

`\rho = (m)/(V)`

here,

m = mass

V = Volume

Replacing we have that

`\rho = (40g)/(23cm^3)`

`\rho = 1.739g/cm^3`

As
`1mL = 1cm^3` we have that the density in g/mL is,

`\rho = 1.739g/mL`
