Density is simply Mass÷Volume. 360g÷7.5cm^3 = 48g/cm^3.

Density is defined as (mass) / (volume).

The density of the substance you describe is (360 gm) / (7.5 cm³) =

48 grams per cm³ .

The math is bullet-proof, but this is more than double the density
of the heaviest known substance !

A gallon jug filled with this weird substance would weigh about 400 pounds !
