Question

The formula for density of an object is given by D = m/v where D is density, m is mass, and V is volume. Solve the formula for V.

Answer 1

The formula for the density of an object is given by

$D=\frac{m}{V}$

Where D is the density, m is the mass and V is the volume.

We are asked to solve the formula for V.

Step 1:

Multiply both sides of the equation by V then simplify

$\begin{gathered} VD=\frac{mV}{V} \\ VD=m \end{gathered}$

Step 2:

Divide both sides of the equation by D then simplify

$\begin{gathered} \frac{VD}{D}=\frac{m}{D} \\ V=\frac{m}{D} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, we have solved the formula for V.

$V=\frac{m}{D}$

The first option is the correct one.
