what would the density be of your piece

For the purpose of your homework, the answer is 2.445 because if you cut something in half, there is no ""smaller half", it is always 50% on each side. BUT, the rock could be made up of different minerals that are not distributed evenly, creating a rock that doesn't have the same density on each side... that wouldn't be on your homework though, so just go with 4.89/2 = 2.445

The same! The size of the rock doesn't change the density. Also if it were really cut in "half" you couldn't have one piece larger than the other.

density of the smaller piece would also be 4.89gm/ml. density is the ratio of mass per volume. when the piece is cut each piece has the mass and volume equal to half the mass of the original piece. hence the ratio does not change.
