you can also use the 'pyramid' method for three quantities:

mass
______________

density * volume

If you want to know the equation for mass, cover it up mass (in your head or on paper) so the image of the equestion above becomes:

_______________

density * volume

so mass = density * volume.

Likewise if you want to know the equation for volume, cover 'volume' and the image of the equation will be:

mass
________

density

so volume = mass/density

You can use this method for any equation with 3 quantities

hope that helps

oh, just noticed it the same as robdesbois post
