Question

A cork has a mass of 3 grams and a volume of 16 cm3 . Calculate the density.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1875, or 3/16

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for density is mass/volume.

I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

${\boxed {\sf \frac{3}{16} \ g/cm^3}}$

or

$\boxed {\sf 0.1875 \ g/cm^3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$\rho= \frac{m}{v}$

The mass of the cork is 3 grams and the volume is 16 cubic centimeters.

$m= 3 \ g\\v= 16 \ cm^3$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$\rho = \frac{3 \ g }{16 \ cm^3}$

Divide.

$\rho=\frac {3}{16} \ g/cm^3$

$\rho=0.1875 \ g/cm^3$

The density of the cork is 3/16 or 0.1875 grams per cubic centimeter.
