Although you might think milk fats would likely float on water, milk also contains other solids like proteins and sugars, which make it barely heavier than water. So usually no - at the same temperature and pressure, ordinary homogenized cow milk would sink in water. A gallon of milk is heavier than a gallon of water.

If you have a large tank with concentrated sugar water in it with a density of 1.5 which plastic would float a milk jug or a soda bottle?

i have a question very similar to thiss! i think the soda bottle would, becasue the milk jug would float in just regular water with a density of 1. the soda bottle has a density of 1.4, and if the sugar water is 1.5 then i think it would float because its density is less. but im no expert. ive been trying to look for the answer to this question as well. but that means a milk jug would float too because its density is less. its so confusing! sorry if that didnt help.
