Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf d=8.96 \ g/cm^3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Density can be found by dividing the mass by the volume.


d=(m)/(v)

The mass of the copper is 89.6 grams.

The volume is 10 cubic centimeters.


m=89.6 \ g\\v= 10 \ cm^3

Substitute the values into the formula.


d=(89.6 \ g )/(10 \ cm^3)

Divide.


d=8.96 \ g/cm^3

The density of copper is 8.96 grams per cubic centimeter.
