Question 7 (1 point)
The picture below shows what happened to a wooden stick, a nickel, a key, and a crayon when placed into identical bowls of water.



If the density of water is 1 gram per milliliter (g/mL), which of the following could be the density of the wooden stick to the nearest hundredth?

a
0.56 g/m
b
1.20 g/mL
c
1.56 g/mL
d
2.00 g/mL

Answer 1

Answer: a) 0.56 g/mL.

Reason: the wooden stick floats, so its density must be less than water (1.00 g/mL). Of the choices given, only 0.56 g/mL is less than 1.00 g/mL.
