Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. A sample has a mass of 56 g and a volume of 4 cm³. Calculate its density.
14 g/cm³
Density = mass ÷ volume = 56 g ÷ 4 cm³ = 14 g/cm³.
2. A sample has a mass of 65 g and a volume of 5 cm³. Calculate its density.
13 g/cm³
Density = mass ÷ volume = 65 g ÷ 5 cm³ = 13 g/cm³.
3. A sample has a mass of 180 g and a volume of 15 cm³. Calculate its density.
12 g/cm³
Density = mass ÷ volume = 180 g ÷ 15 cm³ = 12 g/cm³.
4. A sample has a mass of 10 g and a volume of 2 cm³. Calculate its density.
5 g/cm³
Density = mass ÷ volume = 10 g ÷ 2 cm³ = 5 g/cm³.
5. A sample has a mass of 48 g and a volume of 12 cm³. Calculate its density.
4 g/cm³
Density = mass ÷ volume = 48 g ÷ 12 cm³ = 4 g/cm³.
6. A sample has a mass of 192 g and a volume of 16 cm³. Calculate its density.
12 g/cm³
Density = mass ÷ volume = 192 g ÷ 16 cm³ = 12 g/cm³.
7. A sample has a mass of 55 g and a volume of 11 cm³. Calculate its density.
5 g/cm³
Density = mass ÷ volume = 55 g ÷ 11 cm³ = 5 g/cm³.
8. A sample has a mass of 45 g and a volume of 3 cm³. Calculate its density.
15 g/cm³
Density = mass ÷ volume = 45 g ÷ 3 cm³ = 15 g/cm³.
9. A sample has a mass of 180 g and a volume of 20 cm³. Calculate its density.
9 g/cm³
Density = mass ÷ volume = 180 g ÷ 20 cm³ = 9 g/cm³.
10. A sample has a mass of 4 g and a volume of 2 cm³. Calculate its density.
2 g/cm³
Density = mass ÷ volume = 4 g ÷ 2 cm³ = 2 g/cm³.
11. A sample has a mass of 35 g and a volume of 5 cm³. Calculate its density.
7 g/cm³
Density = mass ÷ volume = 35 g ÷ 5 cm³ = 7 g/cm³.
12. A sample has a mass of 30 g and a volume of 10 cm³. Calculate its density.
3 g/cm³
Density = mass ÷ volume = 30 g ÷ 10 cm³ = 3 g/cm³.
