To find the volume of the gold nugget, we can use the formula relating density (\(D\)), mass (\(m\)), and volume (\(V\)):

\[
D = \frac{m}{V}
\]

We can rearrange this formula to solve for volume (\(V\)):

\[
V = \frac{m}{D}
\]

In this case, the mass \(m\) of the gold nugget is given as 13 g, and the density \(D\) of gold is 19.3 g/cm³. Plugging in these values:

\[
V = \frac{13 \, \text{g}}{19.3 \, \text{g/cm}^3}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
V \approx 0.6746 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

Rounding to two decimal places, we have:

\[
V \approx 0.67 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

Therefore, the volume of the 13 g gold nugget is approximately \(0.67 \, \text{cm}^3\).

The correct answer is **0.67 cm³**.
