Density is defined as mass divided by volume. The formula to calculate density (ρ) is:

\[
ρ = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}
\]

In this case, you have:

- Mass (m) = 0.25 kg
- Volume (V) = 320 cm³

To calculate the density, you can plug in the values:

\[
ρ = \frac{0.25 \text{ kg}}{320 \text{ cm}^3}
\]

Now you can perform the calculation:

\[
ρ = \frac{0.25}{320} = 0.00078125 \text{ kg/cm}^3
\]

To express the density in a more commonly used unit (g/cm³), you can convert kilograms to grams (1 kg = 1000 g):

\[
\rho = 0.00078125 \text{ kg/cm}^3 \times 1000 \text{ g/kg} = 0.78125 \text{ g/cm}^3
\]

Therefore, the density of the apple juice is approximately **0.78 g/cm³**.

So, the correct way to use the information provided to calculate density is to apply the formula \(ρ = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}\) using the given mass and volume.
