Answer:

96.5 g/ml

Step-by-step explanation:

5g sample of pure gold has a density of 19.3 g/ml

When the friend purchased a gold ring that was made of 25g of pure gold, that is 5x heavier than the 5g sample (5x5)

So, the density must also be 5 times the 5g sample's density.

19.3 x 5 = 96.5 g/ml

So, the density of the gold ring is 96.5 g/ml
