Understanding and Measure of density
Mass, Density and Volume
Density is a measure of how heavy
something is compared to its size.

For example, a teaspoon full of gold

would weigh a lot more than a
teaspoon full of sugar because gold is a
lot more dense.

Mass Density can be calculated from mass

and volume.

We can use the formula triangle to help

remember the formulae for calculating
Density × Volume mass, density or volume.

Cover up what you are trying to find.

The remaining parts tell you what
calculation to perform.
 Calculating Density
Example:
An block of metal has a mass of 50g and a volume of 25cm³.
Calculate the density of the object.

 We are trying to find the density so

cover ‘density’.

The formula triangle tells us that

Mass density =

= 2g/cm³

× Volume

The units for density are usually kg/m3 or g/cm3.

 Calculating Mass
Example:
A block of cheese has a volume of 90cm3 and a density of 1.9g/cm3.
Calculate its mass, giving your answer in grams.

We need to find mass so cover up ‘mass’.

The formula triangle tells us that

mass = density × volume

1.9 × 90 = 171g

Density × Volume
 Calculating Volume
Example:
An object has a mass of 5kg and a density of 0.8kg/m³.
Calculate the volume of the object.

 Cover up ‘volume’.

The calculation we need to perform is

Mass =

= 6.25m³

Density ×
Remember to check the units in the answer match those in the question.

Understanding unit cost – Best buy
What Is a Best Buy?
We consider a best buy to be the cheapest option per unit
of quantity.

We can also compare services such as mobile phone

tariffs or the best interest rates.

Being able to calculate a best buy can save you money and
help to make a budget go further.

An easy place to practise calculating best buys is in a

supermarket where you can compare different sizes of the
same product to see which size is the best buy.
Surprisingly, it isn’t always the larger size.
 Finding the Unit Price
To start any comparison, find the cost of one unit by dividing the
cost by the total quantity.

In a supermarket, a 200g jar of

jam costs £1.80 and a 500g jar Take Notes
of the same jam costs £4.30.
Find the cost of one unit
Calculate the best buy. by dividing.

180p ÷ 200 = 0.9g/p You may need to convert

430p ÷ 500 = 0.86g/p to a more suitable unit,
e.g. pounds to pence.
Per gram, the 500g jar is
Always ensure all units
slightly cheaper and therefore
are the same.
the best buy.
 Easier Comparisons
Sometimes, it is quicker and easier to just change one of the
quantities to find the best buy.

Example:
A 500ml bottle of orange juice costs 80p and a 1 litre bottle of
the same juice costs £1.70. Which is the best buy?

500ml is the same as 0.5 litres.

Here, we can simply multiply the 80p by 2 to find the 1 litre
equivalent price.

0.80 × 2 = £1.60 for 1 litre

compared to £1.70 for the 1 litre bottle.

In this case, the 500ml bottle is the best buy.

2. Juice A: 450ml for £7.70 770 ÷ 450 = 1.71 (2d.p.)

Juice B: 125ml for £2.00 200 ÷ 125 = 1.6
B is the best buy

3. Shampoo A: 1.2l for £6.20 620 ÷ 1200 = 0.52 (2d.p.)

Shampoo B: 5l for £25 2500 ÷ 5000 = 0.5
B is the best buy

4. Cereal A: 100g for 90p 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9

Cereal B: 500g for £4.55 455 ÷ 500 = 0.91
