Question

hyperdog3 · Answer

I was doing an experiment and had to pour 1/4 cup of water just so you are aware. This is one of the observation and conclusion questions it asked. I'm  confused though because even if you pour 1/2 cup of water doesn't the density stay the same no matter what?

Density does NOT change based on the volume of water.

Think about it.

The formula for density is

density=mass/volume

If the volume decreases, the mass will also decrease proportionally. 

Density stays the same.
