How do you find the volume when the mass and density are given?

Answer 1

well a good and efficient way at finding the volume when density and mass are given is to cross multiply then divide. or in other words use proportions. if your looking this up you might also want to know how to find the mass when density and volume are given well you could still technically use proportions ,but a faster and better way is to multiply density by volume.

1. D/1=M/V make sure to put the 1 when using proportions.
2. DxV=M its easier and simpler than using proportions.

Answer 2

density = mass/volume

or

p=m/V

so V = m/p

Explanation of the algebra

p=m/V

Times both sides by V

pV = m*V/V

the V`s cancel each other out as V/V is 1

divide both sides by p

pV/p = m/p

the p`s cancel each other as p/p is 1

leaving;

V = m/p

Answer 3

Density is defined as [ mass/volume ].

D = M / V

Multiply each side by 'V' :

D V = M

Divide each side by 'D' :

V = M / D

The volume is the (mass) divided by the (density).

Answer 4

Simply divide the mass by the density. You would get the volume. Because

Density = Mass / Volume.

So Volume = Mass / Density

Answer 5

Divide the mass by the density:

volume = mass/density

Answer 6

Total mass divided by density = volume.

Answer 7

mass=density*volume m=dv
