An oak table is like a big block made of wood, right? Now, think about a small piece of wood and how heavy or light it is. Sometimes big things can be very light, like a balloon, or very heavy, like a rock. Good so far?
Now, when we talk about a table's density, we're basically trying to figure out how much stuff (mass) is packed into a certain space (volume) in that table. Imagine you have a big jar and you want to see how many marbles you can fit inside it without overflowing. The density is like how tightly those marbles are packed inside the jar.
Now, look at your oak table. We know it has a volume of 0.01 cubic meters. That means if we could scoop out all the wood from the table and put it into a big box, the box's size would be 0.01 cubic meters. The mass of the table is 9 kilograms, so that's how heavy the wood in the table is.
To find the density, we need to divide the mass by the volume. So, if we divide the mass (9 kilograms) by the volume (0.01 cubic meters), we get the density of the oak table. And the answer is... well, I'll let you calculate it for fun! Ready?
So, the density of the oak table is the number you get when you divide 9 by 0.01. Once you get your final number, remember to only write it as a whole number, meaning no decimals or fractions. How did you do? That's how you figure out the density of an oak table!
