Answer:

287cm^3

Explanation:

Given data

Density of aluminium= 2.7g/cm^3

mass of aluminium= 775g

The volume occupied is given as

we know that

density= mass/volume

volume= mass/density

volume= 775/2.7

volume= 287 cm^3

Now based on Archimedes principle, which states that when a body is totally or partially submerged in a fluid it experiences an upthrust which is equal to the volume of the mass displaced

Therefore, the volume of oil displaced is 287cm^3
