Question

A 68.0 g bar of gold is cut into three different size pieces. How does the density of each piece compare to the density of the original gold bar?

Answer 1

If its cut down to three different pieces it will be 3 times less dense and if you add the pieces up you will get the weight of the whole thing

Answer 2

Politely disagree with the previous response. Density is mass/volume ratio which remains the same even if the bar gets cut into pieces. Each piece is 1/3 the mass, as well as 1/3 the volume, of the original piece, so the 1/3's cancel out and density is the same.
