Understanding Density
Density is a measure of how much mass is packed into a given volume. The formula for density is:
* Density = Mass / Volume
Solving for Volume
1. Rearrange the formula: We need to find the volume, so rearrange the formula to solve for it:
* Volume = Mass / Density
2. Plug in the values:
* Volume = 80 grams / 8 g/cm³
3. Calculate the volume:
* Volume = 10 cm³
Answer: The volume of Frank's steel sample is 10 cubic centimeters (cm³).
