Which method would be best to separate a mixture of oil and water?

Answer:

separation by density

Step-by-step explanation:

since both oil and water share different densities (just like how ice and water do, ice has a lesser density, therefore it floats.) with oil being denser than water, it sinks.

hope this helps:)
