A wooden block is initially floating in a bucket of water with \(\frac{4}{5}\)​ of its volume submerged. When a certain amount of oil is poured into the bucket, the block is found to be just under the oil surface with half of its volume submerged in water and half in oil. What is the density of the oil relative to that of water?
1. \(0.7\)
2. \(0.5\)
3. \(0.8\)
4. \(0.6\)
