Density Practice Questions Flashcards
Taylor has a cat named Mikey who weighs 10 grams. Mikey is 30 cm tall, 40 cm long, and 15 cm wide.
What is Mikey’s volume?
What is Mikey’s density?
Mikey’s volume is 18,000cm3
Mikey’s density is 0.0005g/cm3
Ruth wants to go on the biggest slide at the waterpark in West Edmonton Mall. The ride attendant claims you must have a density of 10.0695g/cm3. Ruth has a mass of 500g, and her dimensions are as follows: H=106cm W=26cm L=15cm.
Will Ruth be allowed down the waterslide or will she have to fight the attendant?
Ruth has a density of 0.012g/cm3 and since it is smaller than the requirement she must fight the attendant so she can go down the slide.
Alex has a cat that is super fat. She is so fat that she often falls in the bathtub. She weighs 90 grams(she is 9x heavier than Mikey!). Her dimensions are as follows:
H=60cm
W=20cm
L=18cm
What is the density of the fat cat?
Alex’s cat has a density of 0.004g/cm3
Hayden has a dog named Bob who fell into some muddy water. Bob is 50cm tall, 10.1cm long, and 5.2 cm wide. Bob weighs a whopping 900 grams.
Will Bob be able to float in the water? The density of the murky water is 1.56g/cm3.
Yes, Bob will be able to float in the muddy water, because his density is 0.34g/cm3.
Because his density is lower than that of the water he will float.
Lilly was going to eat a double chocolate cake. The mass of the cake is 20g, and its dimensions are as follows.
H=30cm
W=15cm
L=12cm
What is the density of Lilly’s cake?
The density of Lilly’s cake is 0.004g/cm3/0.0037cm3.
Jeff is going to the pool and he weighs 200 grams. Jeff does not want to flood the pool so it is important that he floats. His volume can be calculated using these measurements:
H=600cm
W=20cm
L=15cm
Will Jeff float if the density of pure water is 1.0g/cm3?
Yes, Jeff will float because his density is 0.001g/cm3 which is less than water @ 1.0g/cm3.
Lisa is adding an orange slice to her glass of water. The orange has a mass of 3g and the dimensions are:
H=3cm
W=2cm
L=4cm
What is the density of her orange slice?
The density of the orange slice is 0.125g/cm3.
Miss Cupcake was putting icing on a muffin. The icing used has a mass of 77 grams. The icing needed to cover the muffin will take up the following dimensions:
H=7cm
W=11cm
L=12cm
What is the density of the icing used to cover the muffin?
The density of the cupcakes icing is 0.083g/cm3.
Liam is throwing a big rock into the river. The rock has a mass is 900 grams. It measures:
H=50cm
W=70cm
L=8cm
What is the density of Liam’s rock?
The density of Liam’s rock is 0.03g/cm3.
Bob also has a cat. His cat is 90 grams! The cat is only 5.9 cm tall, 4cm long, and 9.1cm wide.
What is the density of his cat?

Jeff was eating an Oreo and he accidentally dropped it into his glass of milk. Before entering the milk, the Oreo had a mass of 4 grams. Its dimensions are:
H=2cm
W=3cm
L=4cm
What is the density of his Oreo before it fell into the milk?
The Oreo has a density of 0.1666cm3.
Iceman is putting an apple into a pie. The apple he used weighed 7 kilograms. The dimensions of the area filled was:
H=1m
W=2m
L=4m
What is the density of the apple?
The density of the giant apple is 875g/cm3.
Jack is putting candy into his candy bucket. The bucket stands 10 cm tall, 5 cm wide, and 4 cm long. His bucket is only 7 grams. He adds 50 grams of candy into his bucket.
What is the density of Jack’s bucket after he adds the candy?
The density of the bucket is 0.285g/cm3.
- Holly’s cat Candy decides to roll around in a pool of Jello. Candy weighs 45 grams and has a volume of 300cm3. The Jello has a mass of 175 grams and a volume of 750cm3.
What has a higher density: Candy or the pool of Jello?
Candy: 0.15g/cm3 Jello: 0.2333g/cm3
The pool of jello has a higher density than Candy.
