Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the density of an object, you have to divide the weight of the object (mass) by the amount of space the object takes up (volume) by each other and then you get the density of the object. So, "no density is NOT a ratio of a substances volume to its mass, but a ratio of the substances mass to volume."


p=(m)/(v)
p = density
m = mass
v = volume

Hope this helps.
