Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance is the ratio of its mass to its volume. As it is a specific property of matter, it can be used to identify substances. The density of water is 1 g/cm3 (read: one gram per cubic centimeter). This value corresponds to water at 25°C, as at lower temperatures the density of water decreases. Other factors that affect the density of water are: temperature, pressure and salinity.

d = m/V

The expression shows us that density is inversely proportional to volume, so the greater the volume occupied by a body, the lower its density.

Answer: Yes, it is. Because density is inversely proportional to volume.
