GPT 3.5
Density is calculated by dividing the mass of the object by its volume.
Density = mass / volume
Density = 3.00 × 10^2 g / 86.2 mL
Density = 3.48 g/mL
Since the volume was given to only 3 significant figures, and the mass was given to 3 significant figures, the final answer should also be reported to 3 significant figures.
Therefore, the density of the object is 3.48 g/mL.
