An unknown metal has a mass of \(0.968\, \text{kg}\) and a volume of \(123 \,\text{cm}^3\). The densities of several metals are listed below. What is the most likely identity of the unknown metal?
iron: \(7.87 \,\text{g/cm}^3\)
aluminum: \(2.70 \,\text{g/cm}^3\)
chromium: \(7.19 \,\text{g/cm}^3\)
nickel: \(8.90 \,\text{g/cm}^3\)
Look for words like most nearly, (most, more) likely, most clearly, most closely, usually, typically, often/most often, leading, particularly, and probably in questions. They indicate that you should look for the best answer, not necessarily the only possible one.
