He gets a glass in the shape of a rectangular prism with a base 3\text{ cm}3 cm3, start text, space, c, m, end text by 2\text{ cm}2 cm2, start text, space, c, m, end text and fills the glass with 3.1\text{ cm}3.1 cm3, point, 1, start text, space, c, m, end text of water. John drops his gold ring in the glass and measures the new height of the water to be 3.7\text{ cm}3.7 cm3, point, 7, start text, space, c, m, end text. What is the volume of John's ring in cubic centimeters?

Answer:

Determine the volume of the ring by subtracting the original volume of water from the volume of water after you dropped in the ring. Calculate the density of the ring by dividing the mass in grams by the volume in milliliters.
