Density (d) is mass (m) divided by volume (V) (d = mV). Mass is typically measured in grams (g), while volume is typically measured in milliliters (mL). How much volume will 550 g of a solution with a density of 1.10 g/mL occupy?

Density (d) is mass (m) divided by volume (V) (d = mV).  Mass is typically measured in grams (g), while volume is typically measured in milliliters (mL).  How much volume will 550 g of a solution with a density of 1.10 g/mL occupy?

You have the problem spelled out so well, why not just use d = m/v or v = m/d = 550 g/1.10 mL = ? mL.
