Understand that density is a physical property that relates the amount of mass in a given volume of a substance.
Recall the definition of density, which is the ratio of mass to volume, expressed mathematically as \(\text{density} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}\).
Recognize that the other options (mass + volume, mass × volume, volume / mass) do not correctly represent this relationship because density must have units of mass per unit volume.
Confirm that the correct formula for density is \(\text{density} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}\).
Use this formula to calculate density when given the mass and volume of a substance.
