    We find the answer by using the density formula: d = m/v

    We know the density: 0.1785

    We know the volume: 3,249

    We DO NOT know the mass, so that is what we're trying to finding

    0.1785 = m/3,249

    Solve:

    3,249 * 0.1785 = m/3,249 * 3,249

    579.9465 which can be rounded to 579.9

    The answer is D.
