27.3 g is the mass of an aluminum sample with a volume of 10.0 cm3.
As long as it can displace a volume of water equal to its mass (ie its density is less than that of the water) it will float. Most paper will have a density less than that of water (or can be so folded) so will float.

The idea is to divide the mass by the volume.
Density of a substance = (mass of a sample of the substance) divided by (volume of the same sample)
The volume of a sample of water is 20 cm3. The mass of this sample is closest to

An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water.

The pumice is not very dense, if the mass of the volume of water displacement is greater than the mass of the rock it will float
An object will float if its DENSITY (mass divided by volume) is less than water - or whatever liquid it is supposed to float on.
The density of an object is its mass divided by its volume. If that is less than the density of water, it will float; if greater it will sink
Yes you can. If the object is one cubic meter in volume and it has a mass of less than one metric ton it should float in fresh water.

Calculate its volume. Divide mass by volume to get its density. Compare that to the density of water - assuming you want to figure out whether it will float or sink in water.
density = mass / volume. so you need to weigh to find the mass. To find the volume submerse in water and record the displacement of water to find the volume.
Calculate the density (mass divided by volume) of your object. If the density is less than that of water - which has a density of about 1000 kg per cubic meter - then it will float; if the density of your object is more, it will sink.
No, since it's denser than water. Density is defined as mass per unit volume, in this case, 13.5 dividied by 5 .. which is greater than 1, the density of water. If the quotient was less than 1 (or density less than one gram per cubic centimeter), it would float in water.
