Answer:

The density remain the same (11.2 g/ml)

Step-by-step explanation:

Density can be defined as the ratio of mass to volume of a body.

From the question,

If the density of large lead is 11.2 g/ml, if it is cut by half, then the mass and volume will become half the original size.

I.e The mass and volume of lead will be divided by half.

Thereby making the density to remain the same or unchanged (11.2 g/ml) as both mass and volume were equally divided.
