RD=upthrust in liquid/upthrust in water
= weight in air-weight in liquid /weight in air- weight in water
0.875=w in air-0. 013/ w in air -0. 012
( the answer is in kilogram , so the fastest way is to just solve directly or you convert the masses to newton, solve for the w in air then use W=mg to get the mass in kg)
