Answer:
[tex]{\boxed {\sf \frac{3}{16} \ g/cm^3}}[/tex]
or
[tex]\boxed {\sf 0.1875 \ g/cm^3}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Density can be found by dividing the mass by the volume.
[tex]\rho= \frac{m}{v}[/tex]
The mass of the cork is 3 grams and the volume is 16 cubic centimeters.
[tex]m= 3 \ g\\v= 16 \ cm^3[/tex]
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]\rho = \frac{3 \ g }{16 \ cm^3}[/tex]
Divide.
[tex]\rho=\frac {3}{16} \ g/cm^3[/tex]
[tex]\rho=0.1875 \ g/cm^3[/tex]
The density of the cork is 3/16 or 0.1875 grams per cubic centimeter.
