- Density
In summary, we have a substance with a density of 2.40 g mL-1 and a weight of 100g. To find its volume in mL, we divide 100 by 2.4 and get 41.67 mL.

It's set up correctly but how do get that small of a number by dividing 100 by less than three?

Oh, I don't know. 100/3=33.33333 and 100/2=50. Seems like 100/2.4 should be something between 33 and 50...
