Question

a block of aluminum has a mass of 540 grams and a volume of 200 cubic centimeters. what is the density of the aluminum block? select the correct answer. 0.37 g/cm³ 1.08 g/cm³ 2.5 g/cm³ 2.7 g/cm³

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the density formula

Density formula is \(
ho=\frac{m}{V} \), where \(
ho \) is density, \( m \) is mass, and \( V \) is volume.

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \( m = 540\space g \) and \( V=200\space cm^{3} \), substitute into the formula: \(
ho=\frac{540}{200} \).

Step3: Calculate the value

\( \frac{540}{200}=2.7 \space g/cm^{3} \).

Answer:

\( 2.7\space g/cm^{3} \) (the fourth option)
