Answer:

12g/cm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the metal  = 1200g

Volume of water in the measuring cylinder  = 150cm³

Volume of the metal  = 100cm³

Unknown:

Density of the metal  = ?

Solution:

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance;

  Density  = [tex]\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

Now insert the parameters and solve;

    Density  = [tex]\frac{1200}{100}[/tex]   = 12g/cm³
