How can you use a balance scale and a metric ruler to find the density of a rectangular solid?

Measure the solid to determine its length, width, and height. Multiply all three to get its volume. Weigh the solid to determine its weight. Divide weight by volume to get density. Convert as needed to the appropriate units.

Is a metric ruler the same as a meter stick?
yes a metric ruler and a meter ruler is the same
How do you find the density of a perfect cube with a balance and a ruler?
To find the density you need the mass and volume and then, density = mass/volume. Given a ruler, you can easily measure an edge of the cube. If that is x units, then the volume is x3 cubic units. However, it is not clear how you find a mass with just a balance. You need some standard weights, but these do not appear to be provided. You are stuck and cannot answer the question.
How many inches on a metric ruler?
None. A metric ruler would not show inches, as these are not a metric measurements. It would show millimetres and centimetres.
What is the difference between English and metric ruler?

How do you find the density of a rectangular solid if the only instrument you have with you is a ruler?
You're pretty much up a creek. You can find the volume using only a ruler, but without a way to find the mass, you will not be able to determine the density.
What is the metric unit of measurement of a ruler?
Centimetres and millimetres are the metric measurements used on a metric ruler.
