I got the right answer when I took the test but I can't seem to conceptually understand this. During the test my thought process was just "well 15/5 is 3...and 3*.7=2.1." Which was right, but that clearly is a poor thought process. There was no passage associated with the question.an object with 15 grams mass is immersed in benzene and suffers an apparent loss of mass of 5 grams. What is the approximate specific gravity of the object? (Data: Specific gravity of benzene = 0.7)
A) 1.4
B) 1.8
C.) 2.1
D.) 3.0
