Answer:

$d=3.79\ g/cm^3$

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a sample, m = 16.7 grams

Volume of the sample, V = 4.4 cm³

We need to find the density of the metal sample.

Density = mass/volume

Substituting all the values,

$d=\dfrac{16.7\ g}{4.4\ cm^3}\\\\=3.79\ g/cm^3$

So, the density of the metal sample is $3.79\ g/cm^3$ .
