How do you find the diameter of an asteroid knowing its density and mass?

This is not really a realistic scenario; an astronomer would first figure out the mass and volume, and THEN calculate the density based on these pieces of information.
Anyway, first you would get the volume, as density / mass. Then, from the volume, you can calculate the radius, using the formula of a sphere. This will only work for fairly large asteroids; for smaller ones it would be a very rough approximation - small asteroids usually have irregular shapes.

How do you find the mass knowing the density?
The formula for density is mass times volume. Therefore, density divided by volume would give you mass.
How can you find the mass of an object if the volume is known but not the density?
Without knowing either the mass of an object or its density, it would be impossible to find the mass. There would be two variables and only one equation. Thus, one cannot find the mass of an object solely from its volume.
What too planets will you find the asteroid belt?
The Asteroid Belt is between the orbit on Mars and Jupiter.
Which planets did they find an asteroid belt between?
The asteroid belt is found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
How do you find diameter of cylinder if pressure at base is given?
You can't. In addition to the cylinder's diameter, the pressure at its base also depends on the density and depth of the fluid in the cylinder ... which gives you the weight of fluid resting on the base area. The pressure alone is not enough information to allow you to calculate the diameter.
How do you find the diameter of a cylinder without knowing the radius or diameter?
Take the circumference divided by pi to find the diameter and divide the diameter by two to find the radius.
How do you find diameter knowing the circumference?
Divide the circumference by 3.14159265 (3.14 for rough approximation) to find the diameter of a circle.
How do you find out the the diameter of a circle if knowing the circumference?
Divide the circumference by the value of Pi - that will give you the diameter.
How do you find the radius of a cone knowing only the diameter?
The radius is half the diameter, so just divide the diameter by 2.
7.5 milligrams equals how many ml?
You cannot associate weight with volume without knowing the density. If you find this out. Density is mass/volume
How do you find the diameter of a circle knowing only the circumference?
to find the diameter of a circle when you only have the circomference you: divide the circomference by pi (approx. 3.14)
How do you find the circumference of a circle knowing only the diameter?
Circumference of a circle: pi times diameter
How do you find the inside diameter of pipe knowing the wall thickness and outside diameter of pipe?
take the outside diameter and subtract the thickness twice.
How do you find wall thickness of pipe knowing the outside diameter and the inside diameter of pipe?
take the outside diameter and subtract the thickness twice.
How do you find inside diameter of pipe knowing the wall thickness and outside diameter of pipe?
take the outside diameter and subtract the thickness twice.
How do you find circumference if you know diameter?
If you know the diameter and need the circumference you times the diameter of the circle by 3.14 also known as pie. That is how you get the circumference by only knowing the diameter. :)
How do you find the height of a coin with the density and diameter?
You cannot since there is not enough information.
