Answer ↓

pls view the calculations section of this ans for more details.

Calculations ↓


\boxed{\\\begin{minipage}{3cm}\xrightarrow{density}\\$\displaystyle(mass)/(volume) \\ \end{minipage}}

Mass = 3g

Volume = 6

3/6

1/2 <----- density

So the density is 1/2 mL³

It will float because it's density is less than the density of water

hope helpful ~

Answer:

float

Explanation:

density = mass/voume

3g/6c.m. ^3

0.5g/c.m.^3 = 0.5g/mL^3

Since the density of water is about 1g/mL^3 and 0.5g/mL^3 is less than that, it will float
