Describe briefly a general method that could be used to find the density of a substance.

that the question im not quite sure of the answer some help would be nice....
thank you!

There are two or three general methods but the simplest is to know that
density = mass/volume.
mass can be measured with a balance (scale if you will BUT scientists don't use scales. We weigh a sack of potatoes on scales. We weigh small amounts of materials with a balance). You can put that into your own words; i.e., density = m/v and mass can be determined with a balance. Then the volume of a regular solid can be determined by measuring its length, width, and height.
