alleryStart learning →Some overflow is lost before measurement. Calculated density is:
ALower than the true value
BEqual to the true value
CHigher than the true value
DZero for every solid
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Higher than the true value
A volume reading that is too small makes mass divided by volume too large.
