The density of an object is calculated using the formula D=m/v, where m is the object's mass and V is its volume. Gold has a density of 19.3g/cm 3. What is the volume of an amount of gold that has a mass of 96.5g?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

\[D = m/v\] you know the value of \(D\), and you know the value of \(m\), so rearrange the equation to have V on one side of the = sign and plug in those two values.

OpenStudy (neeraj750):

multiply density with volume, careful to change the unit as required to get the right answer

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

@Neeraj750 this problem asks to find the volume, so you can't "multiply density with volume" as you don't know the volume yet!

here m= 96.5g D = 19.3 g/cm ^3 substitute and simplify
