So I have NO idea how to approach these two problems, can anyone enlighten me?
Iron has density 7.87 g/cm^3. If 52.7 g of iron is added to 75.1 mL of water in a graduated cylinder, to what volume reading will the water level in the cylinder rise?
And
The density of pure silver is 10.5 g/cm^3 at 20°C. If 5.23 g of pure silver pellets is added to a graduated cylinder containing 14.1 mL of water, to what volume level will the water in the cylinder rise?
I feel as if the solutions are simple, but everything I'm trying just really doesn't seem right.

-
if iron of 7.87grms is one cc,then the vol of 52.7grms will be 52.7/7.87 ccs and level will rise to ans to this plus the water which is another 75.1ccs (cc is cubic centimeter as you probably know) sam for silver ,just insert differant variables
