1	Density is often represented by the lower case greek letter ρ (pronounced rho) in equations and the SI unit is kg/m³
2	Mass is often represented by an 'm' in equations and the SI unit is kg
3	Volume is often represented by a 'V' in equations and the SI unit is m³
4	To perform calculations using density, mass and volume you can use the equation density=mass/volume
5	The symbol equation for the density=mass/volume equation is ρ=m/V
6	The ρ=m/V equation can be re-arranged to make mass or volume the subject of the formula
