Question

The equation for density is mass divided by volume. the mass of a substance is changed so that it is made of fewer particles. If its volume is unchanged, how will its density change?

Answer 1

Density is directly proportional to mass. So if there's less matter inside object, its density will also reduce.

Answer 2

Density will decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

In any division equation, if the numerator decreases, while the denominator stays constant, then the overall answer will decrease.

In this case, the formula is:

Density = Mass/Volume

If the mass is to decrease while the volume stays constant, then the overall answer (density), will decrease.
