well a low density means that there is less mass compacted into a given area. high density is just the opposite, where much mass is compacted into an area. for example wood has lots of air pockets in it and water has no air pockets at all making heavier than wood is for a given amount of space, therefore wood floats on water.
i hope this made sense to you. your welcome

Why does high volume and low mass equal low density?

High volume and low mass result in low density because density is calculated by dividing mass by volume. When the mass is low compared to the volume, the density will also be low because there is less mass per unit of volume.
