Answer:

The answer is 5 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula


density = (mass)/(volume) \\

From the question

The mass of one brick is 50 g

the volume of one brick is 10 cm³

Since the student had 5 bricks

Total mass = 5 × 50 = 250 g

total volume = 5 × 10 = 50 cm³

So the total density is


density = (250)/(50) = (25)/(5) \\

We have the final answer as

5 g/cm³

Hope this helps you
