Answer:

The answer is 2.79 L

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula


volume = (mass)/(density) \\

mass = 25 kg = 25000 g


volume = (2500)/(8.96) \\ = 2790.17....

= 2790 cm³

But 1000 cm³ = 1 L

2790 cm³ = 2.79 L

We have the final answer as

2.79 L

Hope this helps you
