Given:
density of water is <span>approximately 1.0 g/mL
block of material
</span><span>volume of 1.2 x 10^4 in^3
and weighing 350 lb
</span>
Required:
Which will float

Solution:
D = M/V where D is density, M is mass and V is volume

convert <span>1.2 x 10^4 in^3 into mL
</span><span>1.2 x 10^4 in^3 (16.39 mL/ 1 in3) = 196,980 mL
</span>
convert <span>350 lb into grams
350 lb (454 grams/1 lb) = 158,900 grams

D = M/V = </span>158,900 grams/ <span>196,980 mL
D = 0.807 g/mL

The block will float in water because it is less dense than water</span>
