Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2.7 \ g/mL}}[/tex]
Explanation:
Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance. It is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume.
[tex]\rho = \frac{m}{v}[/tex]
The mass of the mineral is 48.6 grams. The volume is 18 milliliters.
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]\rho= \frac{ 48.6 \ g}{18 \ mL}[/tex]
Divide.
[tex]\rho = 2.7 \ g/ mL[/tex]
The density of the mineral sample is 2.7 grams per milliliter.
