Answer:

The answer to your question is letter D. 4800 kg/m³

Explanation:

Data

mass of the rock = 4.8 kg

volume of water = 1.0 L

density = ?

Process

1.- Convert the volume to cubic meters

              1 m³  ---------------- 1000 L

               x      ---------------          1 L

               x = (1 x 1) / 1000

               x = 0.001 m³

2.- Calculate the density

Formula

density = mass / volume

substitution

density = 4.8 kg / 0.001 m³

simplification

density = 4800 kg/m³
