Answer: ρ = m/v

where the : ρ is the density of Gold nugget

: m is the mass of the Gold nugget

: v is the volume that the Gold nugget can occupy when put in the container

Step-by-step explanation:

Just plug in the values as follows

ρ = 44.58/2.31

= 19.298 g/cm^3

NB: If the v was in cubic meter, the the dimensional units would have been g/m^3

Hope this helps. Happy learning!!!
