Calculating Density Part 1

The formula to calculate density is $$D = \frac{M}{V}$$ , where D is density, M is mass, and V is volume.

The density is 3 g/cm³, calculated using the formula $$D = \frac{M}{V} = \frac{9g}{3cm^3}$$ .

The density is 2 g/mL, calculated using the formula $$D = \frac{M}{V} = \frac{80g}{40mL}$$ .

Box A has a greater density.

The density is 7 g/cm³, calculated using the formula $$D = \frac{M}{V} = \frac{14g}{2cm^3}$$ .

Density measures how much mass is contained in a given volume.

Common units of density include g/cm³, kg/m³, and g/mL.

You can find the volume using the formula $$V = \frac{M}{D}$$ .

The mass is 50g, calculated using the formula $$M = D \times V = 10 g/cm^3 \times 5 cm^3$$ .

The density increases.
