Answer:

The answer is 22 g

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 = 11 g/cm³

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 4 - 2 = 2 mL

But 1 mL = 1 cm³

2 mL = 2 cm³

volume = 2 cm³

The mass of the marble is

mass = 11 × 2

We have the final answer as

22 g

Hope this helps you
