How do you figure out which metals have a density greater than another metal?

ex:
chromium has a density of 7.2g/cm3. which two of the given metals in the table have a density greater than that of chromium?


table:
•aluminum: 10(volume): 27(mass)
•copper: 2.0(volume): 18(mass)
•iron: 2.0(volume): 16(mass)
•titanium: 10(volume): 45(mass)
•vanadium: 2.0(volume): 12(mass)​

Answer:

Density = Mass/Volume

Step-by-step explanation:

For the example the answers are Copper and Iron

In the case of chromium having a density of 7.2, anything greater than 7.2 is a higher density. 18/2=9 and 16/2=8. The copper and iron metals were the only ones that had a higher output than the density of chromium.
