The Density of Alloys

The density of alloys can be calculated by adding the masses of each individual metal to get the total mass and adding the volumes of each individual metal to get the total volume and dividing the total mass by the total volume.
Density
of Alloy		=  mass of alloy  
volume of alloy
ρ=mass of metalA + mass of metalB
   total volume of metal A and B
