Answer:

When density of a material is very low then large volume of the material will have little mass

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We know, density is a ratio of mass to volume.
  • So, mass is a product of volume and density.
  • For a large volume of material to have little mass, it should have very low density.
  • For an example, cotton has very low density. Therefore, to weigh a measurable quantity of cotton, a large volume of cotton is required.
