Answer:

The answer is 8.89 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 = 75.6 g

volume of copper = 8.5 cm³

We have


density = (75.6)/(8.50) \\ = 8.894117647...

We have the final answer as

8.89 g/cm³

Hope this helps you
