In your post, the densities of the ingredient metals are missed.
Brass itself is not an element - it is an alloy, instead, consisting of different components in different proportions,
so, without a further deciphering/specifications, there is no sense to talk about its density --- it may vary.
THEREFORE, as the problem is posed in the post, it makes a few sense (if any).
To learn more about the term "brass", input it into the GOOGLE search engine --- and enjoy (!)
