What is the formula for density?

• density = mass x volume
• density = mass / volume
• density = mass + volume
• density = mass - volume

• 8 g/cm³
• 2 g/cm³
• 1/2 g/cm³
• 24 g/cm³

Jack has a rock. The rock has a mass of 14g and a volume of 2cm³. What is the density of the rock?

• 7 mL
• 7 g/cm³
• 28 g/cm³
• 1/7 g/cm³

Why do some substances float on water?

• they are warmer than water
• they are cooler than water
• they are more dense than water
• they are less dense than water
