If the relative density of gold is 19.3 what would be its density?

relative density is related to the density of water. i.e. a relative density of 19.3 means that it has a density 19.3 times the density of water. The density of water is 1g/ml therefore the density of gold is 19.3g/ml

What is the definition of relative density?

Relative density, is also called specific gravity, and it is the ratio of the density (mass/volume) of a substance to the density of a particular reference substance, usually water. So, where density has the units of mass/volume, relative density (specific gravity) is unitless.
