Yes, an anchor is more dense than a hot air balloon. Density equals the mass divided be the volume.
For example:
Let's say that they both take up the same amount of volume, the anchor has a higher mass than the hot air balloon so it has a higher density which is why the hot air balloon floats and the anchor will sink.
yes it is.
If a thing can float on water, it's density is lower than water, like a hot air ballon.
If a thing can sink in water, it's density is higher than water, like an anchor.

What can you say about the gas inside a balloon?
The gas inside of a balloon is less dense than the air outside of it if the balloon floats. If the balloon does not float the density of the gas inside of it is equal to or more dense than that around it.
Are helium balloons more dense than air baloons?
No. At the same pressure, a helium filled balloon will be less dense than an air-filled balloon.
Is a cannon ball more or less dense than a water balloon the same size?
less dense
Is the air inside the balloon less dense than the air outside the balloon?
No. If you blow air into a baloon, it will be under pressure, and therefore more dense, than the air outside.No. If you blow air into a baloon, it will be under pressure, and therefore more dense, than the air outside.No. If you blow air into a baloon, it will be under pressure, and therefore more dense, than the air outside.No. If you blow air into a baloon, it will be under pressure, and therefore more dense, than the air outside.
What makes balloons less dense air?
If a balloon is filled with a substance that's less dense than air ... such as helium, hydrogen, steam, or warmer air ... then the balloon is less dense than air.
Why would heating the gas in a hot air balloon make the balloon rise?
When the gas (air) in a hot air balloon is heated it becomes less dense. This makes the balloon more buoyant so it rises.Because heating the air inside the balloon makes it less dense than the air surrounding the outside of the balloon, so it will rise.
How does a hot air balloon work?
Hot air balloons get their buoyancy from hot air created by a propane burner at the base of the balloon. Hot air is less dense than cold air and so weighs less. When the cold air that is displaced weighs more than the balloon, the balloon will rise. The balloons weight is controlled by turning the burner on and off when needed. The hot air is less dense than the outside air and so the balloon is squeezed upwards by the surrounding air. The air becomes less dense as more heat is applied, particles separate more and more when heat is applied. The more heat is applied the further apart and less dense the particles become.
When you heat the air inside a hot air balloon, it rises. Why does this occur?
D: The hot air inside the balloon becomes less dense than the air outside the balloon.
Gas that is less dense than air?
Helium is a gas that is less dense than air. This is why a balloon filled with helium rises when released.
Why does a helium filled balloon rise in relation to its density?
I'm not sure I understand the question but here goes: Helium is lighter [less dense] than air, so a helium filled balloon rises because it floats up on the more dense air.
How do you make a balloon rise into the air?
-- Inflate the balloon with some substance that is less dense than air. OR -- Inflate the balloon with air, then heat it after it is sealed.
How does the flame in an hot air balloon enable the balloon to float in the air?
The flame heats the air contained in the balloon. This causes the air to expand, thus it becomes less dense than the air surrounding the balloon. Once the air in the balloon is sufficiently less dense than the surrounding air to overcome the weight of the balloons materials, it will lift into the air.
