density = mass/volume

mass = 127g

volume = 32.1ml = 32.1 cm^3

density =127/32.1 g/cm^3 = 3.96g/cm^3

um if i understand correctly your trying to find the density of a rock and u must use significant figures okay so

d=m/v

d=127/32.1

d=3.956386

okay since your doing division you use the number with the least amount of numbers in the whole problem and both have 3 so it doesnt matter

d=3.96
