Answer:

the volume should be in cubic cm so I assumed that you wanted to write the same . then the answer is 5489.07 kg/m^3

Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf d\approx5.49 \ g/cm^3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Density can be found by dividing the mass by the volume.


d=(m)/(v)

The mass of the rock is 555 grams and the volume is 101.1 cubic centimeters.


m=555 \ g \\v= 101.1 \ cm^3

Substitute the values into the formula.


d=(555 \ g)/(101.1 \ cm^3)

Divide.


d=5.48961424 \ g/cm^3

Let's round to the nearest hundredth to make the answer more concise.

The 9 in the thousandth place tells us to round up. In the tenth place, the 8 will become a 9.


d\approx5.49 \ g/cm^3

The density of the rock is about 5.49 grams per cubic centimeter.
