Answer:

The answer is

7.80 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

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


density = (mass)/(volume) \\

From the question

mass = 156 g

1 mL = 1 cm³

20 mL = 20 cm³

volume = 20 cn³

The density of the metal is


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

We have the final answer as

7.80 g/cm³ to 3 significant figures

Hope this helps you
