Answer:
44.8 grams
Explanation:
The density exists as a ratio comparing the mass of a piece of copper per 1 cm³. Since you have been given a new volume, you can set up a proportion to find the new mass.
[tex]\frac{8.96 grams}{1.00 cm^3} =\frac{?grams}{5.00cm^3}[/tex] <----- Proportion
[tex]44.8 = (1.00cm^3)(?grams)[/tex] <----- Cross-multiply
[tex]44.8= ?grams[/tex] <----- Divide both sides by 1.00
