Answer 1

`\rho=11300\ kg/m^3`

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

Volume of the Joey treasure chest = 1.5 m³

mass of the coin = 16,950 Kg

density of the metal of the coins = ?

we know,

`density=(mass)/(volume)`

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

`\rho=(16950)/(1.5)`

`\rho=11300\ kg/m^3`

the density to determine the metal of the coins is equal to
`\rho=11300\ kg/m^3`
