Question

Density of ice is _________ than the density of water.

Answer 1

1. Density= Mass/ Volume
2. Density varies directly with the mass and varies inversely with the volume of a substance.
3. For a given volume, the mass of ice is less than water.
4. Hence, the density of ice is less than water.
5. Thus, ice floats on water.

The density of ice is less than the density of water.
