ρearth=3g4GπR

Just don't forget that dearth=ρearthρwater and ρwater=1000kg/m3

Explanation:

Knowing that a body's density is calculated as:

body's volumic masswater's volumic mass

Knowing that water's volumic mass expressed in kg/m3 is 1000.

In order to find earh's density, you need to calculate
ρearth=MearthVearth

Knowing that g=GMearth(Rearth)2gG=Mearth(Rearth)2

A sphere's volume is calculated as:
V=43πR3=43πR(R2)

Therefore:

ρearth=gG43πR=3g4GπR
