    The mass is

    m = 55.63 kg = 55630 g

    Because 1 pennyweight = 1.55 g, therefore

    m = 55630/1.55 = 35890.32 pennyweights.

    The volume is

    V = 0.326 hogsheads.

    Because 1 hogshead = 238.5 L, therefore

    V = 0.326*238.5 = 77.751 L

    Because 1 peck = 9.091 L, therefore

    V = 77.751/9.091 = 8.5525 pecks

    The density is

    ρ = m/V

    = (35890.32 pennyweights) / (8.5525 pecks)

    = 4196.5 pennyweights/peck

    Answer: 4196.5 pennyweights/peck.
