Solve the problem.
-The mass of a liquid varies directly as its volume $\mathrm{V}$. If the mass of the liquid in a cubical container $5 \mathrm{~cm}$ on a side is $250 \mathrm{~g}$, find the mass of the liquid in a cubical container $3 \mathrm{~cm}$ on a side.
A) $6 \mathrm{~g}$
B) $27 \mathrm{~g}$
C) $54 \mathrm{~g}$
D) $12 \mathrm{~g}$

The volume of the first container is $5^3 = 125 \mathrm{~cm}^3$ and the mass is $250 \mathrm{~g}$, so the mass per unit volume is $250/125 = 2 \mathrm{~g/cm}^3$. The volume of the second container is $3^3 = 27 \mathrm{~cm}^3$, so the mass is $27 \times 2 = 54 \mathrm{~g}$.
