Answer:

16.56 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The density can be found using the following formula:

If we rearrange the formula for m, the mass, we should multiply both sides by v.

d*v=(m)/(v) *v

d*v=m

The mass can be found by multiplying the density and the volume. The density is 2.76 grams per cubic centimeter. The volume is 6 cubic centimeters.

$d= 2.76 g/c^3\\v=6 cm^3$

Substitute the values into the formula.

m= d*v

m= 2.76 g/cm^3 * 6 cm^3

Multiply. When you multiply the 2 "cm^3" will cancel each other out.

m= 2.76 g* 6

m= 16.56 g

The mass of the marble is 16.56 grams.
