Crispin wants to calculate the density of an apple. To do this, he measures the apple's mass and its volume. He measures the mass as 202 grams and gets a volume measurement of 270 cm3. What is the density of the apple, rounded to the correct number of significant figures?
\[d = \frac{ m }{ V }\] Density equals mass divided by volume
but idk the answer
\[d = \frac{ 202 }{ 270}\]
Simply divide those numbers
Then since there's only three significant figures in the lowest number of significant figures, you can write the decimal to the third place. So once you divide the numbers, you will round it to 0.000<---- that spot
Then for the units of the decimal, it should be g/cm^3 since the numerator (202) is in grams, and the denominator (270) is in cm^3
