Acertain solid has a density of 8.0 g/cm3. if 4.0 g of this solid are poured into 4.00 ml of water, which drawing below most closely represents the volume of water after the solid is added

Answer is: the volume of water after the solid is added is 4.5 ml.
d(gold) = 8.0 g/cm³; density of gold.
m(gold) = 4 g; mass of gold.
V(gold) = m(gold) ÷ d(gold); volume of gold.
V(gold) = 4 g ÷ 8 g/cm³.
V(gold) = 0.5 cm³ = 0.5 ml.
V(water) = 4.00 ml = 4.00 cm³.
V(flask) = V(gold) + V(water).
V(flask) = 0.5 cm³ + 4 cm³.V = 4.5 cm³.

Ithink that the answer is b
