Elliot wants to compare the density of four objects to the density of water. Elliot knows that if an object sinks in water, it h
as a higher density than water and that if an object floats in water, it has a lower density than water. Which of the following is a scientific investigation that Elliot could conduct to test the densities of the objects?
A.
Elliot could put the four objects in water to see if they sink or float.
B.
Elliot could look up the densities of the objects in a textbook.
C.
Elliot could ask his teacher which object has the greatest density.
D.
Elliot could put the objects in water to see how much water they absorb.
This is the equation: ×+2x+5x+1=25 Combine like terms to get: 8x+1=25 Now subtract 1 from both sides to result in; 8x=24 Divide 8 into both sides to get: ×=3 inches for the first one.
