Answer:

7.8g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula is [ d = m/v ] where m = mass and v = volume.

We are given both "m" and "v" so we can solve for the density.

d = 156/20

d = 7.8

Best of Luck!

Answer:

The answer is

7.80

Step-by-step explanation:

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


density = (mass)/(volume) \\

From the question

mass of metal = 156 g

Since 1 mL = 1 cm³

20 mL = 20 cm³

volume = 20 cm³

It's density is


density = (156)/(20) = (39)/(5) \\

We have the final answer as

7.80 g/cm³ to 3 significant figures

Hope this helps you
