To find the volume of the silver ring, we can use the formula that relates density, mass, and volume:

Density (D) = Mass (M) / Volume (V)

We can rearrange this formula to solve for volume:

Volume (V) = Mass (M) / Density (D)

Now, we can substitute the values provided in the problem:

  • Mass (M) = 9.87 grams
  • Density (D) = 9.40 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³)

Plug these values into the volume formula:

Volume (V) = 9.87 grams / 9.40 g/cm³

Now, perform the division:

V ≈ 1.05 cm³

Therefore, the volume of the silver ring is approximately 1.05 cubic centimeters (cm³).
