The answer is 8.17g/cm³
Density is defined as mass per unit of volume. With that definition, you can come up with the formula:

[tex]D= \frac{m}{v} [/tex]

Where:
D = density
m = mass
v = volume

Based on the problem, your given is as follows:
m=98g
v= 12cm³

All you need to do is input the data that you know into the formula and solve for what you don't know:

[tex]D= \frac{m}{v} [/tex]
[tex]D= \frac{98g}{12cm^{3}} [/tex]
[tex]D= 8.17g/cm^{3} [/tex]
