The density is the quotient between the mass of a material and the volume occupied by it, The density can be expressed for a substance or for a mixture of substances. For example, water density in ambient conditions is equal to 1.00 g/cm3, which means that in 1 cm³ or 1 mL, there are 1.0 g of water. Therefore:

D = m / V

D = 49 g / 9 cm³

D = 5.444 g/cm³
