What happens to the density of a material if you have a larger piece of it?
A)The density will remain the same because mass and volume will remain the same.
B)The density will be greater because the mass increases but the volume remains the same.
C)The density will be smaller because the mass remains the same as the volume increases.
D)The density will remain the same because mass and volume will both increase in the same way.

D is the best answer there but I would like it to be stated in a slightly different way. The density will be the same because both the mass and volume increase proportionally; i.e. density = mass/volume so if the mass is doubled the volume is doubled also and the density doesn't change.
