Usually, density will have units of
g/(mL) when dealing with a liquid or units ofg/(cm^3) when dealing with a solid. -
The mass has units of grams,
g . -
The volume can have units of
mL orcm^3
We are given the mass and the volume, both of which have good units. All we have to do is plug the given values into the equation:
Therefore that object has a density of
