You should know that density is the fixed ratio of a substance's mass to its volume at a fixed condition of pressure and temperature. Thus, for a specified substance, the density is constant.

Density = Mass/Volume

To find the volume when you're given the mass and density, the convenient equation should be:

Volume = Mass/Density
