Answer: The specific gravity is numerically equal to the density.
Explanation:
Specific gravity is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance, generally taken as water whose density is 1 g/mL.
It is also known as relative density.
The relationship between specific gravity and density of a substance is given as:
[tex]\text{Specific gravity}=\frac{\text{Density of a substance}}{\text{Density of water}}[/tex]
Hence, the specific gravity is numerically equal to the density.
