Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Density = mass / volume

Silver:
$$10.5~g/cm^3 = \frac{mass}{5~cm^3}$$

Gold:
$$19.3~g/cm^3 = \frac{mass}{5~cm^3}$$

Now solve for mass on both equation, you know how to do that right?

By multiplication

poison_princess1 · Answer

With the density?

will.h · Answer

Mass = Density * volume
So do the calculations and find the results

It will be for silver will be 52.5 and for gold it will  96.5 right ?

poison_princess1 · Answer

Then I divided that with the volume right
