What is the density of a block with a mass of 36 g and a volume of 9 cm^3?

• A. 4 g/cm^3
• B. 0.25 g/cm^3
• C. 45 g/cm^3
• D. 27 g/cm^3

Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Recall the formula for density, which is defined as mass divided by volume: \(\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}\).
2. Identify the given values from the problem: mass = 36 g and volume = 9 cm\(^3\).
3. Substitute the given values into the density formula: \(\text{Density} = \frac{36\ \text{g}}{9\ \text{cm}^3}\).
4. Perform the division to find the density value (mass divided by volume).
5. Express the final answer with the correct units, which are grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm\(^3\)).
