Density is referred to as the degree of packing of materials inside a matter. It is the ratio between the mass and volume of matter represented by the formula:

d = m/v 

where d = density 

m = mass 

and v = volume

In the given statement:

In order for an object to sink, its density must ___________ 1g/ml.

The density of any object determines whether the object will completely sink, or float. A dense body compared to the liquid will sink, while a less dense body compared to the liquid will float, therefore, 

In order for an object to sink, its density must be greater than 1g/ml.
