Answer:
_____________________________________________________
The density is: " 4
(3)/(11) g / cm³
" .
_____________________________________________________
or; round to: " 4.2728 g / cm³ " .
_____________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:
_____________________________________________________

Density,
"D" =
mass, "m" [in grams, "g"] / Volume, "V" (mL or cm³; in this case: "cm³ ") ;

or: " D = m / V " ;

Note that "Density, "D" ; is expressed in terms of "mass per UNIT volume" .
_____________________________________________________
47 g / 11 cm³ = (47 / 11) g / cm³ ;

= 4.2727272727272727... g / cm³ ;
_____________________________________________________
Density, "D" = " 4
(3)/(11) g / cm³
" .
_____________________________________________________
→ or, round to: " 4.2728 g / cm³ " .
