If the mass of a body is 12.1 g and the density is 2.2 g/cc, its volume is

Options

A. `5.5cm^(3)`
B. 8cc
C. 1cc
D. 55cc

Answer

To find the volume of a body given its mass and density, we can use the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} (V) = \frac{\text{Mass} (m)}{\text{Density} (\rho)} \]

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the given values**:
- Mass (m) = 12.1 g
- Density (ρ) = 2.2 g/cc

2. **Substitute the values into the formula**:
\[ V = \frac{12.1 \, \text{g}}{2.2 \, \text{g/cc}} \]

3. **Perform the division**:
\[ V = \frac{12.1}{2.2} \]

4. **Calculate the result**:
\[ V \approx 5.5 \, \text{cc} \]

5. **Conclusion**:
The volume of the body is approximately 5.5 cc (cubic centimeters).
