How do you find mass or volume if you know the density?

Mass equals density times volume, and volume equals mass divided by density. A rock with a density of 2 g/cm³ and a volume of 15 cm³ has a mass of 30 g.

Why do liquids form layers in a density column?

The densest liquid sinks to the bottom and the least dense liquid floats on top. In the column on Sink or Float Density Column, honey at 1.4 g/cm³ is the bottom layer and rubbing alcohol at 0.8 g/cm³ is the top.

Density is the mass of a material per unit of volume, measured here in g/cm³. There are 2 sheets for 6th grade here, each with an answer key. Calculating Density has 8 problems with objects such as a stone, an iron bolt and a cork, and Sink or Float Density Column uses tables of typical rounded densities to place four liquids and four objects.
