Answer:
<em>a)</em> <em>1.392 x 10^6 g/cm^3</em>
<em>b) 8.69 x 10^7 lb/ft^3</em>

Explanation:
mass of the star m = 2.0 x 10^36 kg
radius of the star (assumed to be spherical) r = 7.0 x 10^5 km = 7.0 x 10^8 m
The density of substance ρ = mass/volume
The volume of the star = volume of a sphere =
==> V = = 1.437 x 10^27 m^3
density of the star ρ = (2.0 x 10^36)/(1.437 x 10^27) = 1.392 x 10^9 kg/m^3
in g/cm^3 = (1.392 x 10^9)/1000 = <em>1.392 x 10^6 g/cm^3</em>
in lb/ft^3 = (1.392 x 10^9)/16.018 = <em>8.69 x 10^7 lb/ft^3</em>
