Answer:

51.54mL

Explanation:

Density can be defined as the mass per unit volume of a particular object , substance or compound.

Density tell us how heavy or dense that object, substance or compound is.

Mathematically, the formula for Density = Mass(grams)/Volume(ml or cm³)

In the above question, a rock has the following criteria:

Density = 4.56 g/mL.

Mass = 235 g

Volume is unknown.

Imputing this values into the formula for Density, we have:

4.56g/mL = 235g/ Volume

Cross Multiply

4.56g/mL × Volume = 235g

Volume = 235g/4.56g/mL

Volume = 51.535087719mL

Approximately, the volume of the rock to 2 decimal places = 51.54mL
