denser density?

Question

heres a question i am very confused about.
Rank the materials tested in this lab in order from most dense to least dense.
i got the densities of alot of objects in a lab.
but.... is the highest number most dense or is the least number most dense?
all help is appreciatted

Answer 1

The higher the number the greater the density. Density s defined as the mass per unit volume, so the more mass you cram into that unit volume the more dense it is. For example, lead is very dense and you need much less of it for a comparable weight of other substances (compared to aluminum as an example).

Answer 2

Well...

The highest number is the one with the most density

Density is the mass per volume ratio, thus the higher the value, the more the density, and the more the density, the more mass is compressed in a unit volume.

So, you arrange it with the higher densities first then go down from there.

Cheers!

Answer 3

if it density as in mass (g, kg, lb, ect) divided by volume cm^3 mL ect.



ie g/ml



the higher number is more dense
