Answer: Density = 0.23 tons per cubic meter.

Explanation:

Formula :
Density=(Mass(in \ ton))/(Volume (in\ m^3))

1 ton = 32000 ounces

⇒ 1 ounce = 0.00003125 ton

⇒ 7 ounces = 7(0.00003125)= 0.00021875 ton

1 gallon = 0.00378541 cubic meter

2.5 gallons = 0.009475 cubic meter

Density=
(0.00021875)/(0.009475)\text{ tons per cubic meter}


(21875)/(94750)\text{ tons per cubic meter}\approx0.23\text{ tons per cubic meter}

Hence, Density = 0.23 tons per cubic meter.
