Answer:

15 g/mL

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

[tex]density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\ [/tex]

But from the question

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 165 - 150 = 15 mL

We have

[tex]density = \frac{225}{15} = 15 \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

15 g/mL

Hope this helps you
