Decide whether the statement makes sense. Explain your reasoning.I found a rock at the bottom of our swimming pool. It had a mass of 500 grams and a volume of 1000 cubic centimeters, so its density was 0.5 g/cm3.

What will be an ideal response?


Does not make sense. The calculation is correct, and the units are fine, but an object with a density under 1 g/cm3 would not sink in water. (Explanations will vary.)
