Then you need to get a good book on enzymology and learn how to work this  
out, it is not rocket science.

For example, if you release nitrophenol from p-nitrophenylphosphate by a  
phosphatase, the determination is by photometry. The absorbance is related  
to the concentration of NP (the product) by Lambert-Beer's law.  
Concentration times volume gives amount, amount by time gives activity.  
Activity divided by protein amount in the assay gives specific activity.

In your case I would recommend:

I.H. Segel: Biochemical Calculations, 2nd Ed. (Wiley) 1976, ISBN  
978-0471774211

Don't be confused by the age of this book, maths hasn't changed much in  
the last 30 years!
