use the picture to select the correct statement.
is less dense then crayon
oil is denser than water
the paper clip is denser than every thing else
In general, oil floats on water, which means oil is less dense than water. A paper - clip sinks, but we can't say it's denser than everything else just from this. And we can see that oil is less dense than the crayon as the crayon is below the oil layer. So the correct statement is based on the fact that substances with lower density float on those with higher density.
