Candice's bracelet is made from silver because the volume of her bracelet is; 1.72cm³

<h3>Density, Mass and Volume</h3>

By definition, the density of an object is the ratio of its mass per unit volume.

Density = Mass/Volume.

Hence, for silver;

10.49 = 18/Volume.

Volume = 18/10.49

Volume = 1.72cm³.
