The density of a substance equals its mass divided by its volume. Talia listed the density of some common materials at 20 °C.

Material
Density (g/cm3)
gasoline
0.70
mercury
13.6
milk
1.03
water
0.998

If Talia has 10 grams of each material, which material has the greatest volume?
Show your work below.


Answer :

Remember that volume = mass/density.
Therefore, if you have 10 grams of a substance, divide that by its density to find its volume.
