Answer:

The answer is

0.075 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

mass = Density × volume

From the question

density = 762 kg/m³

We must first convert the volume from cm³ to m³


1 \: {cm}^(3) = 1 * {10}^( - 6) {m}^(3)

So 99 cm³ will be


9.9 * {10 }^( - 5) \: \: {m}^(3)

So the mass of the material is


mass = 762 * 9.9 * {10}^( - 5) \\ = 0.075438

We have the final answer as

0.075 kg

Hope this helps you
