a. 11.6%
b. 11.6 g/m3
c. 12.76%

The relative humidity shows us saturation of water in air. Since it is 58% and not 100% we have to scale density that we were given when humidity is 100%.

At 100% humidity, density is 20grams/cubic meter

at 58% it will be:
0.58 * 20 = 11.6 g/m^3

Since the question is to find density, the answer cannot be in %.

Answer is 11.6 g/m^3
