Question

a brass button has a mass of 9.54 grams and a volume of 1.06 cubic centimeters. calculate its density. write your answer to the hundredths place. grams per cubic centimeter

Explanation:

Step1: Recall density formula

The formula for density $
ho$ is $
ho=\frac{m}{V}$, where $m$ is mass and $V$ is volume.

Step2: Substitute given values

Given $m = 9.54$ grams and $V=1.06$ cubic - centimeters. So, $
ho=\frac{9.54}{1.06}$.

Step3: Calculate the density

$\frac{9.54}{1.06}=9.00$ grams per cubic centimeter.

Answer:

9.00 grams per cubic centimeter
