Answer:

1.8g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance and the space this subtance occupies. It is usually given in g/cm³.

The mass of the block is 30g.

The volume this mass occupies is 1.5cm × 4.8cm × 2.3cm = 16.56cm³.

The density is:

30g / 16.56cm³ =

1.8g/cm³
