If an object has a mass equal to three Earth masses and a volume five times that of the Earth, how would its density compare to the Earths?

It would be 3/5 as dense as the Earth.

It would not compare. It would just be bigger. This is like a trick question.
I think what you mean to ask is......
"If a mass equal to ONE earth( a mass the same size as earth), has a volume five times that of earth, how would its density compare to the earths?
So its the same size but filled with 5 times the mass how would it compare.

Hi. It would be the volume (or mass) divided by the mass (or volume) in Earth units. Earth would be 1/1. Sorry but you have to learn SOMETHING by doing.

It would have a density 3/5 that of the Earth.
