Density is not a derived unit.. It is a physical quantity and hence is a derived quantity.. the unit of density kgm-3 or gcm-3 is a derived unit because it can be expressed as the quotient of base units.
In general, a unit is said to be derived if it can be expressed as the product and/or quotient of base units.

Why density is a derive unit?
a fundamental unit is kg or m - (also seconds, amps, candela and moles). Density is kg/m3 and is thus derived.
Which term defined as the measure of the mass per unit volume of substance?
mass per unit of volume is infact NOT density, it is DERIVED!!
What derived units is usually used to express the density of liquids?
The derived SI unit for density is Kilogram per cubic metre.
What is si derived unit for density?
Kilograms per cubic metre. Kg/m3
What is the symbol of unit for density?
The unit of density is a derived unit. It is derived from the SI unit of kg and m. The SI derived unit for density is kg/m3 . When working with small substances, density is usually measured in g/cm3 .Refer to the related link for a chart showing the SI fundamental units and derived units by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Is the unit for density a derived unit?
no
Are grams per millimeter a derived unit?
yes,grams per millimeter a derived unit .it is called linear density,that is ,gram /mL
Is the unit for density derived?
yes

What is the derived unit for density in physics?
kg/m3
What is the ratio of density?
Density is a derived unit: mass divided by volume.
Is the unit for density a derived unit or a base unit?
That will obviously depend on the system of units chosen. In the SI (International System), it is a derived unit (mass divided by volume).
What derived units is usually used to express the density of liquids?
The derived SI unit for density is Kilogram per cubic metre.
What is si derived unit for density?
Kilograms per cubic metre. Kg/m3
Mass of a substance divided by unit voulme?
