2.4 g/(cm^(3))

Explanation:

To calculate the density, we'll use the formula below:

  • Usually, density will have units of g/(mL) when dealing with a liquid or units of g/(cm^3) when dealing with a solid.

  • The mass has units of grams, g.

  • The volume can have units of mL or cm^3

We are given the mass and the volume, both of which have good units. All we have to do is plug the given values into the equation:

Density =(36 g)/(15 cm^3)

Therefore that object has a density of 2.4 g/(cm^3).
