To calculate the density of an object, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}
\]
In this case, you have a mass of 112 grams and a volume of 24 cubic centimeters. Plugging the values into the formula gives:
\[
\text{Density} = \frac{112 \, \text{g}}{24 \, \text{cm}^3}
\]
Now, performing the division:
\[
\text{Density} = 4.66667 \, \text{g/cm}^3
\]
Rounding this to two decimal places gives:
\[
\text{Density} \approx 4.67 \, \text{g/cm}^3
\]
From the options provided, the correct answer is:
**4.7 g/cm³**
