Frank has a paper clip. It has a mass of 15g and a volume of 3cm. What is its density?
27 g/cm3
5 g/cm3
0.2 g/cm
18 g/cm

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\tt 5 \ g/cm^3}[/tex]

Explanation:

Density can be found by dividing the mass by the volume. Use the following formula.

[tex]d=\frac{m}{v}[/tex]

The mass of the paper clip is 15 grams.

The volume of the paper clip is 3 cubic centimeters.

[tex]m= 15 \ g\\v= 3 \ cm^3[/tex]

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]d=\frac{15 \ g}{3 \ cm^3}[/tex]

Divide.

[tex]d= 5 \ g/cm^3[/tex]

The density of the paper clip is 5 grams per cubic centimeters, or 5 g\cm³
