Answer:

  1. density: 623 kg/m^3
  2. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Density is mass per unit volume. Assuming the planet is a sphere, the density is about ...

  ρ = (5.64·10^26 kg)/((4/3)π·(6·10^7 m)^3) = 5.64/9.05 · 10^(26-23) kg/m^3

  ρ ≈ 623 kg/m^3

2. Seawater has a density of about 1025 kg/m^3. Saturn has an average density that is less, so it would float (yes).
