Name: _______________________
Practice Problems - Try each problem. DO NOT FORGET TO INCLUDE UNITS!
1. A metal ball has a mass of 2kg and a volume of 6 m3 . What is its density?
2. Water has a density of 1 g/ml. What is the mass of the water if it fills a 10 ml container?
4. A solid is 5 cm tall, 3 cm wide and 2 cm thick. It has a mass of 129 g. What is its density?
5. What is the volume of a marble that has a mass of 3 g and d density of
2.7 g/ml?
6. A box 5 cm long, 4 cm wide and 6 cm high would have what volume?

7. Use the data table to calculate the density of each unknown substance.
Then use the density chart to determine the substance.
Mass (g)
Volume (cm3)
D = m/v
Substitute variables
Density (g/cm3)
Substance
4725
350
D = 4725/350
D = 13.5
Mercury
171
15
148

8. Use the squares below to
answer the questions.
a. Which object has the
greatest mass?
Which object has the
smallest mass?
b. Which object has the largest volume?
Which object has the smallest volume?
c. Which object has the greatest density?
Which object has the smallest density?
d. Using squares and dots, draw 2 pictures of objects with different volumes and densities. HINT: The
object with smaller volume must have smaller mass but greater density that the object with greater
volume.
