Question

Which statement is correct?

a
Block A has the greatest density.

b
Block B has the greatest density.

c
The density of Block A is equal to the density of Block B.

d
The density of Block B is equal to the density of Block C.

Answer 1

b

Block B has the greatest density.

Explanation:

density = mass/volume

volume = length × width × height

All blacks have the dimensions 7 cm by 3 cm by 1 cm, so the 3 volumes are equal.

Since density = mass/volume, and the volumes are equal, the block with the highest mass has the highest density.

Since all the masses are different, all densities are different.

Answer: Block B
