6. A scientist wants to calculate the density of an
object that is the shape of a rectangular prism.
She will find its density based on its mass and
volume. Which procedure should she use?
A. 1. Use a balance to measure the object's
mass.
2. Use a scale to weigh the object.
3. Calculate the density.
1. Weigh the object using a scale.
2. Calculate the density from the weight.
C. 1. Measure the object's dimensions using a
ruler.
2. Use the dimensions to calculate the
object's volume.
3. Use a balance to measure the object's
mass.
4. Calculate the density.
D. 1. Add the object to a water-filled
graduated cylinder.
2. Use the results to calculate the object's
volume.
3. Use the volume to calculate the density
of the object.
