Step-by-step explanation

First, let's list the density of each substance:

vegetable oil - approximately 0.92 g/mL

water - approximately 0.99 g/mL

rubbing alcohol - approximately 0.79 g/mL

So the least dense is rubbing alcohol, then vegetable oil and then water.

Answer: rubbing alcohol < vegetable oil < water.
