Answer:

Material is less dense than water so it will float in water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of material = 110 g

Volume of material = 312 cm³

Will it float or sink in water = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the density of material.

d = m/v

d = 110 g/ 312 cm³

d = 0.35 g/cm³

The density of water is 1 g/cm³ it means material is less dense than water so it will float in water.
