Is the volume 12.7 g or is that the mass
If it’s volume you’re trying to find it will be v=m/d but if it’s mass then it’s m= v * d

Answer:

$\boxed {\tt 1.32291667 \ cm^3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume can be found by by dividing the mass by the density.

v=(m)/(d)

The mass of the solid is 12.7 grams.

The density of the solid is 9.6 grams per cubic centimeter.

$m= 12.7 \ g \\d= 9.6 \ g/cm^3$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$v=(12.7 \ g)/(9.6 \ g/cm^3)$

Divide. Note that the grams, or g, will cancel out.

$v=(12.7)/(9.6 \ cm^3)$

$v= 1.32291667 \ cm^3$

The volume of the solid is 1.32291667 cubic centimeters.
