Answer:


\rho =2.6g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering that the density is defined as:


\rho =(m)/(V)

Thus, since 1 kg equals 1000 g and 1 L equal 1000 mL, the required density in g/mL turns out:


\rho =(1.7132kg)/(0.65L)*(1000g)/(1kg)*(1L)/(1000mL) \\\\\rho=2.6g/mL

Take into account that since 0.65 L has two significant figures, the result is also shown with two significant figures.

Regards.
