How is density used to determine if a material will float or sink in a liquid?

Density is used to determine if a material will float or sink in a liquid by comparing the density of the material to the density of the liquid. If the material has a greater density than the liquid, it will sink. If the material has a lower density than the liquid, it will float. Objects float when they displace an amount of liquid equal to their own weight.
