Aleena Lam · Answer 1

Density = mass / volume

by using the displacement method in determining the volume of the object, the volume of the object is equal to the final volume minus the initial volume.

so the density = mass / (final volume - initial volume)

density = 7.5 g / (12.5 ml - 10 ml)

density = 3 g / ml is the density of the marble
