Relative density can be calculated directly by measuring the density of a sample and dividing it by the (known) density of the reference substance. The density of the sample is simply its mass divided by its volume.

Answer:
Definition of Density:
Density of an object can be defined as the mass of an object in a given volume.
Formula:
So, Density = Mass / Volume
Example:
Mass = 33.5 kg
Volume = 10
Therefore, Density = 33.5/10 = 3.35 kg/
Definition of Relative Density:
The relative density of a substance is the ration of its density to that of water
Formula:
Relative Density = Density of substance / Density of water
Example:
Density of substance = 1.42 g/
Density of water = 1g/
So, Relative density = 1.42 / 1 = 1.42 [Note that there is no unit of relative
density because it is a ratio]
