What volume of a liquid (in cm3) having a density of 1.48 g/cm3 is needed to supply 5.00 grams of the liquid?

Density = Mass / Volume
OR
D = M / V
Your'e looking for V, so re-arrange the above equation:
D = M / V
so
V = M / D
Now plug and chug:
V = 5.00g / (1.48 g/cm3)
V = 3.37 cm3

Look at the units.
5.00 g divided by 1.48 g/cm3 = 3.38 cm3
If the units come out right, often (but not always) the answer is, too

5.00 / 1.48=3.37837838 cm3

density = mass/vol
vol = mass/density
= 5.00/1.48
= 3.38cm3 (3 s.f.)

density is mass divided by volume, you have density and mass, so reaarange the formula to get mass divided by density is euqal to volume
