Answer: The specific gravity is numerically equal to the density.

Step-by-step explanation:

Specific gravity is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance, generally taken as water whose density is 1 g/mL.

It is also known as relative density.

The relationship between specific gravity and density of a substance is given as:


\text{Specific gravity}=\frac{\text{Density of a substance}}{\text{Density of water}}

Hence, the specific gravity is numerically equal to the density.
