Answer:

HALVED

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for density is density = mass /volume .

We need to double the volume. multiply it by 2 .

But in order to multiply one side of the equation by a number, the same has to be done to the other side.

Multiplying the volume by 2 is the same as multiplying the fraction mass volume by 1/ 2 .

So let's multiply both sides of the equation by 1 /2 :

⇒ 1 /2 × density = 1 /2 × mass /volume

⇒ density /2 = mass /2 × volume
