Math Problem Statement

The formula \( D = \frac{m}{V} \) gives the density, \( D \), in grams per cubic centimeter, for an object of mass, \( m \), in grams, and a volume, \( V \), in cubic centimeters. Ravi has a 0.5 gram sample of the mineral goslarite. He knows that goslarite has a density of 2.00 grams per cubic centimeter. He wants to use this information to determine the volume of the mineral sample. Which statement about Ravi's sample is true?

Solution

Let's solve this question step by step.

The formula for density is:

[ D = \frac{m}{V} \
