Problem Statement

A student is asked to measure 30.0g30.0 {\text{g}} of methanol (d=0.7914g/mL at 25C)(d=0.7914 \text{g/mL at 25}^{\circ}\text{C}) but has only a graduated cylinder with which to measure it. What volume of methanol should the student use to obtain the required 30.0g{30.0 \text{g}}?
