Density is the Mass (weight) of a unit of Volume. In the Metric system it is usually stated as the number of GRAMS per CUBIC CENTIMETRE ( gm/cc) A cc is a cube of 'stuff' having a length, and a width, and a height of 1 centimetre.

Pure WATER has a density of 1 gram/ cc . Steel density is approx. 8gram/cc

A cc and a ml both occupy the same VOLUME . If you put a rock into a FULL container of water, then the overflow of water will be exactly the same as the Volume of the Rock. Measure the quantity of ml which overflowed, and that will be the cubic centimetre volume of that Rock. Now weigh the Rock and calculate its gram/cc Density

By accurate measurement of mass AND the volume (at a particular temperature) of that same mass. Density is the ratio of both.
