Answer Increasing the volume of a quantity while keeping its mass fixed decreases its density (mathematically, d = m/v). This can be observed in the transition of water from its liquid stage to its solid stage, or vice versa. As water turns into ice, its volume increases yet its mass is fixed (no additional water is added or lost--assuming the losses from evaporation is negligible); hence its density will decrease. This is why ice cubes float in drinks, or icebergs exist. drugs are bad mmkay!!!!!

Volume and density are inversely related. As volume increases, density decreases, and vice versa. This means that if you increase the volume of a substance while keeping its mass constant, the density will decrease, as the same amount of mass is spread out over a larger space.

Density is mass per unit of volume. The formula is: Density = mass/volume. The greater the mass in relation to volume, the greater the density. The greater the volume in relation to mass, the lower the density.

The density of an object is its mass divided by its volume. In other words density is the ratio of mass to volume. If you have 2 liters of a liquid (volume) and it weighs 22 grams (mass) {I'm just making up numbers here} the density of the liquid would be 11 grams per liter. So since the mass and the volume are what make up the density of an object you could say they could have a big effect on the object's density.

Their effects on density are equal.

Multiplying or dividing either the mass or volume by 2,
both cause the density to be multiplied or divided by 2.

Density = mass / volume. If volume increases, without a change in mass, then the density will decrease.
