The denser an object, the more compact it is. the table below shows the mass and volume of two different objects.

which of the two objects is more compact?

object x is more compact.
object y is more compact.
both objects are equally compact.
this cannot be determined.

(B) Object Y

Explanation: the reason it is Y is because as quoted "Since density is mass per volume, the most straight forward way of measuring the density of something is to measure its mass, then measure its volume and divide the mass by the volume." so first you have to divide 72/12=6 and 63/9=7 so then once you get this answers you have to look closer at them object x=6 object y=7 so even though object x has a bigger mass object y is more dense. i hoped this helped if you can i would love the brainiest but if not that is ok have a great day bye.:)

the sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including dna and rna. this backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecule.
