Question

A block of wood has a volume of 3 cm and has a mass of 27 g. What is the density of this block? (we are looking for the word in red)



Answer 1

Density= mass/ volume; in this problem mass= 27g and volume =3cm. So, if you plug these into the equation you get this:

Density= 27g/ 3cm

Density= 9g/cm
