The fraction of its volume inside liquid is increased .
Explanation:
According to principle pf floatation , an object floats on the surface of water
when the weight of liquid displaced by it becomes equal to weight of the object . weight of the liquid depends upon the density of the liquid .
In the second case , when the body is dipped into liquid of lesser density , in order to balance the weight of body , more volume of liquid will be displaced so that weight of displaced liquid becomes equal to object's weight . So the body floats with greater depth inside liquid . The fraction of its volume inside liquid is increased .
In Scientific Notation, your goal is to get your the number you're multiplying by 10 (8 in this case) to be between 0 and 10. Therefore, you would NOT have 80 x 10^7 because 80 is not between 0 and 10.
