The mass of an object divided by how much volume it takes up. If mass is high, but it's a small object (like a lead ball), density is high. If it's like an empty box, which has a low volume (since empty space doesn't count as volume of an object), then density is lower.
Pure water has a density of 1 gram/mL

Density (symbol: ρ - Greek: rho) is a measure of mass per unit of volume. The higher an object's density, the higher its mass per volume. The average density of an object equals its total mass divided by its total volume. A denser object (such as iron) will have less volume than an equal mass of some less dense substance (such as water). The SI unit of density is the kilogram per cubic metre (kg/m3)
density = m/v

Density is the mass of the object divided by the volume it takes up. Basically it is the measure of how closely packed the molecules in matter are. The closer the molecules are, the denser the object.

mass over volume = density
water's density = 1
anything that floats is less dense than water

it's the amount of mass per volume. or in other words, the amount of matter that something is made of per area that it is in.
