Find the Density

$ρ = \frac{m}{V}$

$ρ$	$=$	$?$
$m$	$=$	$50 g$
$V$	$=$	$8.5 mL$

Step 1

Substitute the given values into $ρ = \frac{m}{V}$ .

Step 1.1

Substitute $50 g$ for $m$ .

$ρ = \frac{50 g}{V}$

Step 1.2

Substitute $8.5 mL$ for $V$ .

$ρ = \frac{50 g}{8.5 mL}$

$ρ = \frac{50.0 g}{8.50 mL}$

Step 2

Simplify the right side.
