The answer is option B

Explanation:

The denisty of a substance can be found by using the formula

Density(\rho) =  \frac{mass}{volume}

Making volume the subject we have

volume =  \frac{mass}{Density}

From the question

Density = 13.6 g/cm³

mass = 1.50 lbs

We must first convert the lbs to grams in order to solve

That's

if 2.2 lbs = 1 kg

Then 1.50 lbs = \frac{1.5}{2.2}

= 0.681 kg

If 1 kg = 1000 g

Then 0.68 kg = 0.681 × 1000 = 681g

So the mass = 681 g

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the volume

That's

volume =  \frac{681}{13.6}

= 50.0735

We have the final answer as

50.1 mL

Hope this helps you

I have a friend who is living at Super Spot, I admire her very much for being able to start her own business which is being a success and she is managing to keep up well being a great businesswoman. In addition to admiring her, I realize that her personality is similar to mine, and perhaps that's why we get along so well. Just like me, my friend is calm and homely, likes animals and being surrounded by nature, we like to read and complain about the government in her spare time. Besides, we both have a controversial taste in music and we like macabre movies. It's very interesting that even at different times in our lives, our personality has so many similar points.
