Density

Revise Density in Ratio & Proportion for GCSE Mathematics with 14 exam-style questions and 3 flashcards. This is a high-frequency exam topic, so students should expect to explain it clearly under timed conditions.

Sample Flashcards

Floating Rule
Objects float if their density is LESS than the liquid. Water = 1 g/cm³, so anything under 1 g/cm³ floats.
Density Formula
Density = Mass ÷ Volume. Units: g/cm³ or kg/m³. Cover what you need in the triangle!

Sample Questions

Which formula correctly shows how density (D), mass (M) and volume (V) are related?

  • A. D = M + V
  • B. D = M × V
  • C. D = M ÷ V
  • D. D = V ÷ M
