If the numerator is bigger than the denominator of your density problem will the object float or sink in water?

If your numerator (the mass of the substance) is larger than the denominator (the volume of the substance), then your object will sink because your ratio will be greater than one. Meaning, your volume isn't great enough to displace the fluid in which it rests. Any density less than 1 g/mL floats; any density greater than 1 g/mL will sink.

What 2 ways can you change density of water?
By cooling it below 4 degrees centigrade whereupon its density will decrease. By heating it above 4 degrees centigrade whereupon its density will decrease. Water is at its densest at about 4 degrees centigrade.
If the solid is not completely submerged in the water Explain how this technique error affects the reported density of the solid?
You wouldn't get the right reading of volume of the object, so you're density calculation would be off.
Which has more mass an atom of gold or lead?
the lead atom is heavier, but it also bigger. therefore the density of lead is less than that of gold
How do you get the density when the volume is bigger than the mass?
Well, first of all, you can never say that a volume is larger or smaller than a mass.Volume and mass are different physical quantities, they have different physicaldimensions, described in different units, and can't be compared or converted.When you talk about comparing a volume to a mass, the only thing you can compareis the numbers, but you have to remember that neither of them is just a number.In order to become a volume or a mass, the number needs to have a unit too.A 'density' is a mass divided by a volume. If the mass number is bigger than thevolume number, then the density number is more than ' 1 ' . If the mass numberis less than the volume number, then the density number is less than ' 1 '.But it doesn't mean anything. The same substance can give you a density morethan 1 or less than 1. It just depends on the units you use for mass or for volume.Let's say I have a lump of stuff in my hand. OK ? It doesn't matter what substance it is.Its mass is 50 grams, and its volume is 80 cubic centimeters. What's the density ?-- The density is 0.625 grams/cubic centimeter-- The density is 0.000625 kilogram/cubic centimeter-- The density is 625 grams/liter-- The density is 625 kilograms/cubic meter-- The density is 625,000 grams/cubic meterDensity can be a tiny number, a gigantic number, or in between. It just depends onthe units you use. The actual density doesn't change, and the object doesn't knowthat anything is happening, because the mass doesn't change, and the volume doesn'tchange. You're just changing the units of measure.
Is an oxygen atom bigger than a hydrogen atom?
An oxygen atom has 8 of each neutrons, electrons, and protons. While a carbon atom has only 6 of each. I had the same problem! So i hope this helped :)
A fraction that has a small numerator and a bigger denominator?
A fraction with a numerator that is smaller than its denominator is less than one.
Is it an imporper fraction when the numerator is bigger then the denominator?
Yes it is
Can the numerator be bigger than the denominator in fractions?
Yes But then you would have to divide the denominator into the numerator and get a mixed number ,then simply 6:4
What does it mean if the denominator is bigger than the numerator?
It's improper
What is a fraction with a numerator that is greater than or equal to the denominator is an?
if the numerator is bigger then the denominator it is called an improper fraction so you have to divide to get your regular fraction.
Why you consider improper fractions right if in fractions numerator is less than or equal to denominator?
The numberator does not have to be less than or equal to the denominator in a fraction.If the numerator is less than the denominator, it is a "proper" fraction.If the numerator is equal to the denominator, it is the integer 1.But the numerator can be bigger than the denominator, and it is then called an improper fraction.
How do you compare two fractions with the same denominators?
if they have the same denominator, you just look at the numerator and if your seeing which one's bigger, then the one with the bigger numerator is obviously bigger.
What numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator?
It is anImproper fraction,ONLY if the numerator is bigger than the denominator, and if the numerator and denominator are the same it is a whole number.example of an improper fraction: 5/3example of a whole number: 7/7
What is the name for a fraction where the numerator is bigger than its denominator?
mixed fraction
What happens if your numerator is bigger then your denominator?
It is then an improper or 'top heavy' fraction
When the numerator of a fraction is bigger than the denominator?
the fraction is said to be improper.
What do you do when the denominator in a fraction is bigger than the numerator?
there is nothing to do its a proper fraction
