Sure! To determine the density of an object, we use the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \][/tex]
Given:
- Mass ([tex]\(M\)[/tex]) = 10 grams
- Volume ([tex]\(V\)[/tex]) = 15 milliliters
Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Identify the given values:
- Mass = 10 grams (g)
- Volume = 15 milliliters (mL)
2. Write the formula for density:
[tex]\[
\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}
\][/tex]
3. Substitute the given values into the formula:
[tex]\[
\text{Density} = \frac{10 \text{ g}}{15 \text{ mL}}
\][/tex]
4. Simplify the fraction:
[tex]\[
\text{Density} = 0.6666666666666666 \text{ g/mL}
\][/tex]
So, the density of the object is [tex]\(0.6666666666666666 \, \text{g/mL}\)[/tex].
