Raise it to the power of minus one. Specific volume is volume per unit mass, density is mass per unit volume. They are multiplicative inverses of one another.

A measure of the amount of matter in a given volume?
Density aka specific gravity is a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume. Actually specific gravity is not the measure of the amount of matter in a given value, it is a comparison of the density of the substance to water's density. Specific gravity is a unitless quantity.
What is the amount of mass packed into a certain volume?
Density aka specific gravity is a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume. Actually specific gravity is not the measure of the amount of matter in a given value, it is a comparison of the density of the substance to water's density. Specific gravity is a unitless quantity.
What is the difference between specific gravity and density?
Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity usually means relative density with respect to water.
Does the same volume of all dry substances weigh the same?
No. The weight of a given volume of a solid is dependent on its DENSITY (weight per volume). The value provided may be its absolute density (at a given temperature) or its specific gravity(density compared to another substance, usually water).
How do you calculate the volume of an object when you are given only the mass and the density?
density=mass/volume volume=mass/density
How do you find the mass of an object when given the volume?
Volume = mass / density
The amount of matter in a given volume is what?
Mass/volume is called density.
The amount of matter in a given unit volume?
density is mass/volume
How does on find mass when given density and volume?
Multiply them: density*volume = mass
What is the amount of mass in a given volume?
The mass in a given volume can be calculated from the density of the substance. Density = mass/vol so mass = density x volume
What is specific gravity?
Specific gravity, usually referred to as relative density is the ratio of the mass of a given volume of a substance to the density of a different reference substance. Water is often used as the reference.
How can I find the mass if only the volume and density are given?
Density = (mass) divided by (volume)Mass = (Density) times (volume)
