Density=MassVolume=0.15gcm3.

Explanation:

And thus ρsugar cube=0.5g1.5cm×1.5cm×1.5cm

=0.15gcm3

While it is bit of a pfaff to include the units in these types of calculation, note that it gave us units that are consistent with units of density, i.e. massvolume=gcm3 or gmL1, and thus it is a check on our calculations. It is all too easy to divide instead of multiply or vice versa, and totally botch the answer.
