Answer:

V=114.1cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Density is defined as the degree of compactness of an object and is mathematically defined via:

$\rho =(m)/(V)$

Now, by solving for the requested volume with the proper units one obtains:

$V=(m)/(\rho ) =(2.20kg)/(19.28g/cm^3)*(1000g)/(1kg) \\V=114.1cm^3$

Best regards.
