Answer:
6.87 g/mL
Step-by-step explanation:
The density of an object can be found by dividing the mass by the volume.
[tex]density=\frac{mass}{volume}\\\\ d=\frac{m}{ v}[/tex]
We know that the aluminum occupies a volume of 12.7 milliliters and weighs 87.3 grams. Therefore, the mass is 87.3 g and the volume is 12.7 mL.
[tex]m= 87.3 g\\\\v=12.7 mL[/tex]
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]d= \frac{87.3 g}{12.7 mL}[/tex]
Divide 87.3 g by 12.7 mL
[tex]d=6.87401575 g/mL[/tex]
Round to the nearest hundredth. The 4 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the 7 in the hundredth place.
[tex]d= 6.87 g/mL[/tex]
The density of the aluminum is about 6.87 grams per milliliter.
