DensityorD=mV

Explanation:

Using the equation we just plug in the values

D=mV

D=25g/2.5cm3
D=10g/cm3

Density is massvolume. Using this relation, we can find that the density of the metal is 10 g/cm3

Explanation:

Density is the mass of an material divided by its volume:

density =massvolume

In this case,
mass = 25.0 g
volume = 2.5 cm3

So we would simply plug these values into the equation to get:
density =25.0g2.5cm3= 10 g/cm3
