Question

What is the volume of a piece of gold that has a density of 19.3 g/cm3 and a mass of 15 grams?

Answer 1

density = mass/volume
so volume=mass/density

Answer 2

what does that mean that doesen't tell me anything?

Answer 3

you know the density and mass and you have to found volume.......right?

Answer 4

This is a plug and chug problem. :) Souvik gave you the formula for finding volume, if you know what the mass and the density are. To find the volume, simply divide the mass by the density. So V = 15/19.3

You will probably want to pay attention to significant digits in your answer. In this case, you will want to round your answer to the nearest whole number.
