Answer:

d≈8.21 g/cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:
The density can be found by dividing the mass by the volume.
d=m/v
The mass is 62.4 grams and the volume is 7.6 cubic centimeters.
m=62.4 g
v=7.6 cm^3
Substitute the values into the formula.
d=62.4 g/7.6 cm^3
Divide
d= 8.210526315789474 g/cm^3
Round to the nearest hundredth. The 0 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the 1 in the hundredth place.
d≈ 8.21 g/cm^3

The density of the object is about 8.21 grams per cubic centimeter.
