A student has a sample of a mineral that is too big to fit in a graduated cylinder. The density of the sample is known. How can the student determine the volume of the sample?

The formula for density is given as:

density = mass / volume

So given the density and the mass, we can get the volume. The mass can simply be measured using a weighing scale therefore the student can now determine the volume by rearranging the formula:

volume = mass / density
