Im not sure how to convert these because of the cm cubed

heres the question:

An aluminum engine block has a volume of 4.88 L and a mass of 12.60 kg. What is the density of the aluminum in grams per cubic centimeter?

so its gonna be something g/cm3

can you tell me what it is and how you go it

1 litre of water occupies 1000cc.
So 4880 cc of aluminium weighs 12600 g.
Can you take it from here?
metric is sooo easy.
there are 1000g in 1 kg, and 1000 cm^3 in 1 L

so 12.60 kg/4.88 L
= 12600/4880 g/cm^3
= 315/122 g/cm^3
so would it be 12600/4880?

so. 2.582

i have no idea if i did that wrong.
oh

= 12600/4880 g/cm^3

so how did u get from that to = 315/122 g/cm^3 ?
wait shouldn't it just be one number for the answer?
12600/4880
reduced to lowest terms is 315/122
or 2.582

315/122 is one number.
ok! i get it thanks:)
I don' know ask google
