The density of the sample of iron is $"7.8 g/cm"^3$ .

$"density"="mass"/"volume"$

The mass is given as $"94 g"$ .

The volume can be calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height.

$V=2"cm"xx3"cm"xx2"cm"="12 cm"^3$

Plug the known values into the density formula.

$"density"="94 g"/"12 cm"^3="7.8 g/cm"^3$

A "94 g""94 g" sample of iron has a length of "2 cm""2 cm", width of "3 cm""3 cm", and a height of "2 cm""2 cm". What is its density?
