Question

A miner finds a small mineral fragment with a volume of 5.74 cm3 and a mass of 28.7 g. what is the density of that mineral fragment? 0.20 g/cm3 5.74 g/cm3 164 g/cm3 5.00 g/cm3

Answer 1

Density can be calculated using the following rule:
Density = mass / volume

We are given that:
mass = 28.7 grams
volume = 5.74 cm^3

Substitute with these givens in the above equation to get the density as follows:
Density = 28.7 / 5.74 = 5 grams / cm^3
