What is the density of water?

100

Mass / Volume

What is the formula for density?

100

The measurement of how much mass of a substance is contained in a given volume.

What is the definition of Density?

100

The density of an object when its mass is 4.67g and its volume is 2.8 cm3. State if it floats or sinks.

What is 1.67g/cm3?

What is mass over volume?

200

Greater than 1.00g/mL

What is the density of an object that sinks in water?

200

Mass / Density

What is the formula for volume?

200

The amount of space an object takes up.
