Density Review

D = m/v       mass divided by volume   NOT  volume divided by mass

units of density when measuring liquids     g/ml       

units of density when measuring solids      g/cm³       

density of water:                    1.0  g/ml       because it floats on water

density of oil:                           < 1.0  g/ml

density of copper penny           > 1.0  g/ml     because it sinks in water
