I believe the question is

Block of brass made of copper at density 9g/cm3 and zinc 100 cm3 with density of 8.5g/cm3

The question don't contain sufficient data to calculate.

Brass may have zinc content varies between 5 - 15% this ratio meant to be fix to calculate out ratio copper use.

Let presume fix zinc content to 10% that is 90% copper use

Zinc additive is 100 x 8.5 = 850 gram

Copper additive is then 850x90/10 = 76,500 gram = copper volume of 76,500/9 = 850 cm3

Net weight of this block is then 850+76,500 = 77,350 gram

What is more dense steel alumianum brass copper?

The SI Unit of density is kg/m3 it is calculated by mass / volume The density of steel usually ranges between 7750 and 8050 kg/m3 The density of brass is usually between 8400 and 8730 kg/m3 The density of copper is 8940 kg/m3 at room temperature The density of aluminum is 2700 kg/m3 at room temperature So the most dense is copper, followed by brass, followed by steel, followed by aluminum
