The formula for calculating density is:

  • density = mass/volume

The given mass and volume for the block is 455 g and 600 cm3 respectively.

Therefore the density of the block is

455 g / 600 cm3 = 0.7583 g/cm3 (grams per cubic centimetre)

Since the density of freshwater is 1 g/cm3, this block will float because its density is less than that of the water.
