im doing this line graph about this lab we did in class....it says..construct a graoh comparing number of chocolate chips versus the density of the cookies but i dont know how to find the density all i have is the volume which is 80 and the mass which is 16.3..so can someone pliss tell me the density or help me find it cuz when i divide the mass by the volume all i get is 0.2 is that wrong???

First of all, what are your units? i.e mass = 16.3 what? g? kg? etc.
volume = 80 mL, L? etc.
But yes density is mass/volume = 0.20
Then you're graph would probably have density on the x axis and the # of chocolate chips on the y-axis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Density (symbol: Ï - Greek: rho) is a measure of mass per unit of volume. The higher an object's density, the higher its mass per volume. The average density of an object equals its total mass divided by its total volume. A denser object (such as iron) will have less volume than an equal mass of some less dense substance (such as water). The SI unit of density is the kilogram per cubic metre (kg/m3)
where
Ï is the object's density (measured in kilograms per cubic metre)
m is the object's total mass (measured in kilograms)
V is the object's total volume (measured in cubic metres)
Seems to me you have the answer.

When you divided the mass by the volume you got the correct answer of 0.2. Keep going, you're fine!!!!
