You can use the information below to calculate it :)

Density of water: 1000 kg/m3.

Density of the coin: copper 8.96 g/cm^3

nickel 8.90 g/cm^3

1 kg = 1000 g

All you have to do now is convert it and thats it

Answer:

The coin is denser than any of the liquids, and will sink through everything. The oil is the least dense liquid, so it will float on the water, and the syrup is the densest liquid, so it will sink below the water.
