Answer:

5½ times

Explanation:

The density of water is 1 gram per cubic centimeter while the density of the earth is 5.51 grams per cubic centimeter. Knowing this we can calculate the factor by which the density of the earth is greater than the density of water

Factor = \(\frac{denisty of the earth}{density of water} =\frac{5.51g/cm^{3} }{1g/cm^{3} } =5.51\)

This is approximately 5.5 or 5½
