Answer

A ship is made of metal which is denser than water but its hull is filled with air with is extremely less dense than water that makes up for the density of the metal and ends up being less than water.

Answer

A ship floats on water because the density of the ship (the comparison of how much matter is in it to how much space the ship takes up) is less than that of water, which is 1.

Answer

the ship has volume so that the mass could speard out and fill the place so it is less dense than the water
