• If mass increases, weight will decrease.

• Doubling mass reduces weight by half.

• An increase in mass will not affect weight.

• If mass increases, weight will increase.

• d=m/v

• d=w/v

• d=m/w

• 303.4 g

• 370.4 g

• 373.0 g

• 373.4 g

• 2.5 g/cm3

• 25 g/cm3

• 250 g/cm3

• 2,500 g/cm3

Based on the data for the four samples, determine which of the following substances has the greatest density.

• Sample 1: volume = 15 cm3, mass =30 g

• Sample 2: volume = 20 cm3, mass = 66 g

• Sample 3: volume = 3 cm3, mass = 12 g

• Sample 4: volume = 48 cm3, mass = 100 g
