The answer is 5.26 %

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

$P(\%) = \frac{error}{actual \: \: number} \times 100\% \\$

actual density = 11.4g/cm³

error = 11.4 - 10.8 = 0.6

We have

$p(\%) = \frac{0.6}{11.4} \times 100 \\ = 5.263157894...$

We have the final answer as

5.26 %
