The density of the object is the ratio of its mass and volume. From the given dimensions above, we determine the volume through the equation,

V = L x W x H

Substituting,

V = (3 cm)(2 cm)(1 cm) = 6 cm³

From the idea presented above,
d = m/V

Substituting the known values,

d = (30 g)/ (6 cm³) = 5 g/cm³

ANSWER: 5 g/cm³
