"Density, "rhoDensity, ρ == "Mass"/"Volume"MassVolume; benzene is the denser liquid.

Explanation:

rho_"benzene"ρbenzene == (4.4*g)/(5.0*mL)4.4⋅g5.0⋅mL == ??*g*mL^-1??⋅g⋅mL−1 == 0.88*g*mL^-10.88⋅g⋅mL−1.

rho_"ethanol"ρethanol == (3.9*g)/(5.0*mL)3.9⋅g5.0⋅mL == ??*g*mL^-1??⋅g⋅mL−1 == ?*g*mL^-1?⋅g⋅mL−1.

My money is on the benzene.
