DENSITY
Density is a measurement that combines two other measurements: mass and volume. Specifically, density is defined as the mass divided by the volume. We can abbreviate it like this:
d = m/v where d is the density, m is the mass, and v is the volume.
Therefore, for the first container, we have a 40 lb container that measures 14x20x30. We want to know its density. We need to know its mass which is 40 pounds, and we need to determine its volume. ...
