Volume; mass is a measure of the amount of matter, and volume is a measure of the amount of space.
Since "amount of matter" is measured as an object's mass and "a given space" is measured as volume, the amount of matter in an a given space should equal mass/volume. Mass divided by volume is an object's density. Acceptable units of density include: grams/liters, kilograms/cubic meters, slugs/cubic inch, slugs/cubic foot, and many others.
No, mass is not the amount of matter in a given space. It is actually density.
The amount of matter is given space is mass.
Density since ρ=m/v or in words; density is equal to the mass divided by the volume. i.e. amount of matter in a given space.
