Question

If the mass of a material is 41 grams and the volume of the material is 15 cm^3, what would the density of the material be?

Answer 1

The answer would be

2.7 g/cm³

For those who need the complete solution to this, you can refer to my answer.

The formula for density is:

$D = \dfrac{M}{V}$

Where:

D = Density

M = Mass

V = Volume

The trick to problem solving is to fill in what you know and derive/solve for what you don't know.

Given in the problem:

M = 41 grams (g)

V = 15 cm³

So with that just fill in the formula:

$D = \dfrac{M}{V}$

$D = \dfrac{41g}{15cm^{3}}$

$D = 2.733333... g/cm^{3}$

Round it off and you get 2.7 g/cm³.
