Question

brianna wanted to compare the densities of two different solids of the same size 6cm cubed (same volume) to see which one was denser.

Answer 1

Solid A had a mass of 2 grams and Solid B has a mass of .5 grams. I need to find a claim, evidence and Reasoning..but idk what to do! PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Answer 2

Density is a measure of mass per volume.
As mass increases, density increases proportionally; as volume decreases, density increases proportionally.

If two objects, like Solids A and B, have the same volume, but different mass, the one with the greater mass will have the higher density.
We can show this specifically with calculations:
Solid A has 2 grams of mass in 6 cubic centimeters, so the density of Solid A is 2/6 grams per cubic centimeter (simplifies to 1/3 gram per cubic centimeter)
Solid A has 0.6 grams of mass in 6 cubic centimeters, so the density of Solid B is 0.5/6 grams per cubic centimeter (simplifies to 1/12 gram per cubic centimeter)
It is plain to see that 1/3 is larger than 1/12, yes? So, this is one way to prove that Solid A has a greater density than Solid B

Answer 3

In terms of answering the parts of the question:
"Claim" would be your answer about the densities of the two solids; For example, "A denser than B", "B denser than A", or "both have equal density" would all be examples of claims
"Evidence" would be the information you use to solve the answer; in this case, information about the volumes and masses of the solids would help you find the densities
"Reasoning" would be the steps you take using the evidence to support your answer. These would be the calculations you do to find and compare the density of either solid
