Backpackers often use canisters of white gas to fuel a cooking stove’s burner. If one canister contains 2.45dL of white gas, and the density of the gas is 0.720g/cm3, what is the mass of the fuel in kilograms?
So Volume=2.45dL(10L/1dL)=24.5L(1000/1)=24500cm^3
D=m/v--> m=d/v, so 0.720/24500 =0.000029388g
convery to Kg ---> 0.000029388(1000)= 0.02938 due to 3 sig fig the answer is 0.0294kg
Am I correct?

No. Your first line is in error and I quit reading there. 2.45 dL = 245 cc.
