Answer:

The answer is 3.14 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

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


density = (mass)/(volume)\\

From the question

mass = 78.51 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 45 - 20 = 25 mL

So we have


density = (78.51)/(25) \\ = 3.1404

We have the final answer as

3.14 g/mL

Hope this helps you
