Would the density of a block change if you cut it in half explain your answer mathematical reasoning and the word ratio?

No it will not change. Density is mass divided by volume. Since the ratio of the mass is 1/2 and the volume ratio is 1/2, there is no change. The same holds true no matter how you cut the block, as both mass and volume change proportionally the same.

How do you change density?
To change density there are three ways. You can change the shape, mass or volume of the object

Mathematical y
How do you change mathematical phrase to algebraic expression?
What kind of mathematical phrase? can you please cite some examples?
When mass and volume change what happens to the density?
When mass increases and volume stays constant, the density increases. When volume increases and mass stays constant the density decreases. When they both change, then the density will depend on the rate of change of mass and the rate of change of volume.
Explain why the following reasoning is wrong. You should be heavier at midnight and lighter at noon?
Because mass for a specific object can't change, only volume can change. This means you could expand and feel lighter (as a result of lower density), or contract and feel heavier (as a result of higher density), however, your actual mass would stay the same. The real answer has nothing to do with feelings or density. The reasoning is correct. You are lighter at noon because of the gravitational pull exerted by the sun.

Does the shape of an object change its density?
Changing the shape CAN change the density. If you change it into a smaller shape, then you increase the density. However the mass will not change.
Is a change in density a chemical change?
Density is a physical property.
Why does changing shape of an object dose not change the density?
Changing the shape CAN change the density. If you change it into a smaller shape, then you increase the density. However the mass will not change.
Is the melting of an ice cube considered a physical change or chemical change Explain your reasoning?
The melting of an ice cube is considered both a physical change and a chemical change simply because a chemical change is something burning, so if the ice cube is cold and hot at the same time, it's both a physical change and a chemical change.
