Answer:

The answer is

1.30 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

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


density = (mass)/(volume) \\

From the question

mass of object = 6.9 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 30.4 - 25.1 = 5.3 mL

It's density is


density = (6.9)/(5.3) \\ = 1.30188679...

We have the final answer as

1.30 g/mL
