Question 326067: Two different rocks from near a recent volcanic eruption are compared. Sample A is a rock with a mass of 690 grams and a volume of 333 cm3, and sample B has a mass of 935 grams and a volume of 506 cm3. Which sample is denser and by how much? (cm3 - the 3 should be to the 3rd power or cubed)

Density is mass divided by volume.
Da=690%2F333=2.07g/cc
Db=935%2F605=1.55g/cc

Sample A is denser by 0.52 g/cc.
