Answer:

The mass per unit volume of a substance is called density (density = mass/volume). As the volume of a substance increases, its density decreases. Ice floats because it is less dense than water. ... The density of ice is 0.931 gm/cubic cm.

Explanation:

Believe it or not, ice is actually about 9% less dense than water. Since the water is heavier, it displaces the lighter ice, causing the ice to float to the top.
