Question

What is the volume of 12.7 g of a solid that has a density of 9.6 g/cm^3?

Answer 1

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 2

`\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.
