How do you measure liquid mass?

• Subtract
  Mass of liquid & beaker – mass of beaker = mass of liquid
• Add
  Mass of liquid & beaker + mass of beaker = mass of liquid
• Multiply
  Mass of liquid & beaker x mass of beaker = mass of liquid
• Divide
  Mass of liquid & beaker ÷ mass of beaker = mass of liquid
