Calculating Density
To calculate Density you divide Mass by volume.
Density
Mass
Volume
The amount of space that a substance or object occupies
Measured in ml for liquid and cmᶾ(l X w X h) for solid
The amount of matter that will fit into a given amount of space
Measured in g/ml for liquid and g/cmᶾ for solid
The amount of matter in something
Measured in grams (g)
Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by the volume of the object. Units for density depend on if the object is a solid or a liquid.
Extend the topic:
To find the volume of a solid multiply the length, width, and height in cm. Your units will be cmᶾ.
