Answer:

0.96 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of the object can be found by using the formula


density = (mass)/(volume) \\

From the question

mass = 48 g

volume = ?

in order to find the volume we use the formula

volume = length × width × height

length = 5 cm

width = 2 cm

height = 5 cm

volume = 5 cm × 2 cm × 5 cm = 50 cm³

We can now use the volume obtained to find out the density


density = (48)/(50) = 0.96 \\

We have the final answer as

0.96 g/cm³

Hope this helps you
