Answer:

4.88 g / cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Density of a substance is given by the mass of the substance divided by the volume of the substance .

Hence , d = m / V

V = volume

m = mass ,

d = density ,

From the question ,

The mass of the metal = 24.54 g

The volume of the metal = 5.02 mL

Hence , by using the above formula ,and putting the corresponding values , the density is calculated as -

d = m / V

d = 24.54 g / 5.02 mL

d = 4.88 g /mL

The unit 1mL = 1 cm³

Hence ,

d = 4.88 g / cm³
