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.

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.
