Since density is mass / volume, the other alternative is to increase the volume.

What is Density how is Calculated How does density change?
density is how dense an object is (see dense) it is calculated by dividing the mass by volume of an object. density can be changed by changing the size or shape or the object
What is more dense a cold object or a hot object?
A cold object is more dense.
How do you modify a solid to make it float in a less dense fluid?
There is no known way to alter a object's density without chemically changing the substance. If you want it to float, remove enough of the substance so buoyant force could keep it afloat.
What needs to be positive in order to float?
An object requires positive buoyancy in order to float, or the the upward force that a fluid exerts on an object less dense than itself. An example would be a person floating in the ocean, the person's body is less dense than the salt water, hence they float.
The ability of an object to float on a fluid is influenced by?
density. A less dense object will float on a more dense liquid.
How does an object's density determine whether the object will sink or float in water?
the simple rule is that if your density is higher than the substance it will sink and if it is lower it will float density= mass divided by volume. Example:Mass 7.5g Volume:2cm3 so 7.5 Divided by 2= 3.75g/cm3 that is your density of object
How do you determine if an object floats or sinks in water?
If the object is less dense than water it will float, but if it is more dense it will sink.
When an object is heavier does that mean the object is more dense than other objects?
when something is heavy does that mean it is really dense
How dense does water have to be for an object to float?
Denser than the object.
What makes an object dense?
Its Density
How dense must an object be to float in the water?
Less dense than the water.
What is the relationship between object density the liquid density and the tendency of the object to float?
A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.
