A student is determining the density of an unknown metal with a mass of 87.8 g. The student partially fills a graduated cylinder with water and measures the volume of the water by itself as 54.8 mL. The student then adds the metal to the water and measures the new volume as 87.3 mL. What is the density, in g/mL, of the metal?
