Solution:

The density, of a substance, is its mass per unit volume. The symbol most often used for density is ρ

Density also refers to the measure of the relative compactness of a material.

Thus, the formula for calculating density is given by;


\begin{gathered} \text{density = }\frac{mass}{\text{volume}} \\ \rho=(m)/(v) \\ \\ \text{where }\rho=\text{density measured in kg per meter cube} \\ m=\text{mass measured in kg} \\ v=volume\text{ measured in cubic meters} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the formula for finding density is;


\text{density}=\frac{mass}{\text{volume}}
