density = mass/volume
however in sci units it is kg/m^3 (water = 1000 kg/m^3)
often it is grams/cm^3 (water = 1 g/cm^3)
However not knowing if 48 is kg, grams, slugs or whatever the problem can not be solved
Mass=48; volume=24cm³. What is the density of this substance?

Here is the difference between a math teacher.
Add 2+2
math teacher: 4
science teacher: what are the units, for instance 2bananas+2apples= makes no sense
2 bananas+2banana bunch= ???
on density, mass and volume have to have units. 2kg/cm^3 is much different than 2g/cm^3 is much different than 2lbs/cm^3. All those densities are very different indeed.
