Answer:

See the explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Density will remain the same since density is the relationship between mass and volume. As we can see in the equation below.


Ro=m/V

where:

Ro = density = 2.5 [g/cm³]

m = mass [g]

V = volume [cm³]

In such a way that when the glass is broken the small fragments retain the same density ratio. That is, each fragment has a small mass and a small volume. That's why the density remains the same.
