Step-by-step explanation:

here,

Mass (m)= 32 g =0.32 kg

Density(d)= 17 g/ml

volume (v)=?

we know that,

d=m/v

17=0.32/v

v= 0.32/17

v=0.018

Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf v \approx 1.88 \ mL}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The density formula is:


d=(m)/(v)

If we rearrange the formula for volume, the result is:


v=(m)/(d)

The mass of the object is 32 grams. The density is 17 grams per milliliter.


m= 32 \ g\\d= 17 \ g/mL

Substitute the values into the formula.


v=(32 \ g)/(17 \ g/mL)

Divide. Note that the grams, or g, will cancel each other out.


v=(32 )/(17 \ mL)


v=1.88235294 \ mL

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

The 2 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the hundredth place as is.


v \approx 1.88 \ mL

The volume of the object is about 1.88 milliliters.
