A gold-colored ring has a mass of 17.5 grams and a volume of 0.82 mL. What is the density of this ring?

21 g/mL

Explanation:

To solve this problem, first look at the density equation, which is D=M/V, which D stands for density, M stands for mass, and V stands for volume. When you substitute in the variables, you get D=17.5/.82, which is equivalent to 21.34. However, since we need to pay attention to the sig fig rules for multiplying, we need to have the same amount of sig figs as the value with the least amount of sig figs, which is the number .82. .82 has two sig figs, so you round down. Your answer will be 21 g/mL.

what's the

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
