Answer:

Density =1.63 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula


Density = (mass)/(volume)

To find the density in g/mL , we must first convert the volume from L to mL

From the question

mass = 440 g

1 L = 1000 mL

0.27 L = 0.27 × 1000 = 270 mL

volume = 270 mL

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the Density

That's


Density = (440)/(270)

= 1.629629...

We have the final answer as

Density =1.63 g/mL

Hope this helps you
