A wooden ball has a mass of 2.4 g and a volume of 6 cm^3. What is its density?

• A. 3.6 g/cm^3
• B. 8.4 g/cm^3
• C. 2.5 g/cm^3
• D. 0.4 g/cm^3

Answer: (D)

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 = 2.4 g and volume = 6 cm\(^3\).
3. Substitute the given values into the density formula: \(\text{Density} = \frac{2.4\ \text{g}}{6\ \text{cm}^3}\).
4. Perform the division to find the density value (do not calculate the final number here, just set up the expression).
5. Compare the calculated density with the provided answer choices to determine which one matches your result.
