Observe the two graduated cylinders in the image. The first cylinder shows a volume of 5 mL without the apple, and the second cylinder shows a volume of 10 mL with the apple submerged.
Calculate the volume of the apple by subtracting the initial volume from the final volume: Volume of apple = 10 mL - 5 mL.
Use the formula for density, which is Density = Mass/Volume, to find the mass of the apple. Rearrange the formula to solve for mass: Mass = Density × Volume.
Substitute the given density of the apple (0.96 g/cm³) and the calculated volume (5 mL) into the formula. Note that 1 mL is equivalent to 1 cm³.
Convert the mass from grams to milligrams by multiplying by 1000, since 1 gram = 1000 milligrams.
