Answer:


\boxed {\tt 0.87 \ g/mL}

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by dividing the mass by the volume, or using the formula below.


d=(m)/(v)

The mass of the liquid is 17.4 grams. The volume of the liquid is 20 milliliters. Therefore,


m= 17.4 \ g\\ v=20 \ mL

Substitute the values into the formula.


d=(17.4 \ g)/(20 \ mL)

Divide the values.


d= 0.87 \ g/mL

The density of the liquid is 0.87 grams per milliliter.
