Question

1 g/cm^3 = _________ kg/m^3

I tried converting g to kg and then cm to m, and then dividing. I get the answer 1x10^(-1). When I type in this problem on the internet, many sources say it is 1000. I am very confused as to how this answer was reached.

Answer 1

1 g/cm^3*1kg/1000 g* 100*100*100 cm^3/m^3
= 1000 kg/m^3

you know this anyway because the density of fresh water is about 1 g/cc or 1000kg/m^3

Answer 2

Thank you, but I still don't understand the steps that you took.

Answer 3

Nevermind, thanks!
