C. This object has a mass of 350 grams and a volume of 130 cubic centimeters. What is the density and the name of this mineral? Based on the data given in the chart.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for density is given as:

density = mass / volume

 

So given the density and the mass, we can get the volume. The mass can simply be measured using a weighing scale therefore the student can now determine the volume by rearranging the formula:

volume = mass / density
