Volume of the moon rock is 178.51 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Density of the moon rock = 2.7 g/cm³

Mass of the moon rock = 482 g

To find the volume of the moon rock = ?

The relationship between Density, Mass and Volume is given by


Density = (Mass)/(Volume) \\\\Volume = (Mass)/(Density) = (482)/(2.7) = 178.51\ cm^3

Volume of the moon rock will be 178.51 cm³
