A student measures the mass of an 8 cm block of brown sugar to be 12.9 g. What is the density of the brown sugar?

ok so you have to know the formula density=mass/volume (density is the measure of how much mass is in each unit of volume) the mass, as measured is 12.9 g for the volume, to find the volume of the cube multiply the length times the width times the height. Or , since it's a cube, just cube 8 V=8 8 8=512 cm^3 therefore, density= 12.9 g/512 cm^3 since you need to have 1 cm^3 on the bottom, this simplifies to about .025 g/cm^3

The density of brown sugar can be calculated using the formula Density = Mass/Volume. With a mass of 12.9 grams and a volume of 512 cm³, the density is approximately 0.025 g/cm³. This value denotes how much mass is in each cubic centimeter of brown sugar.
