What is the density of a rock with a volume of 5 mL and a mass of 13.5 grams? (1 point)

• 67.5 g/mL
• 13.5 g/mL
• 0.37 g/mL
• 2.7 g/mL

1 answer

To calculate the density of a rock, you can use the formula:

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

Given that the mass of the rock is 13.5 grams and the volume is 5 mL, you can plug these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Density} = \frac{13.5 \text{ g}}{5 \text{ mL}} = 2.7 \text{ g/mL} \]

So, the density of the rock is 2.7 g/mL.
