How to approach it

Predict from the governing principle before looking for a matching option. Then reject alternatives by checking direction, units, limiting behaviour or the physical meaning of each statement.

  1. 1

    Selects option A: the sample density is 0.80 g cm⁻³.

  2. 2

    Uses density = mass ÷ volume = 240 ÷ 300.

  3. 3

    Obtains 0.80 g cm⁻³ with the correct unit.
