Answer:

The wooden cube would sink in water.

Step-by-step explanation:

p = density

m = mass

V = volume

First, make a chart like such, with the mass and volume

m = 4.5/g

V= 4cm/3

Second, divide amongst the largest number

= p = 1.125 g/cm3

Finally, find the cubed root (3√)

3√V = 1.5874010519682

Now, knowing that the density of the cube is 1.58~ we can predict it will sink

1 g/cm3 = float

Above 1 g/cm3 = sink

Our output:

1.58 g/cm3
