Question

Convert 1gcm-3 into kgm-3?

Answer 1

When you have to convert a quantity you need to multiply by a fraction whose value is 1 but has different units of measurements.

In your case you have:
`(1 g)/(cm^(3) )`

You will have two fractions: one that transforms grams into kilograms and one that transforms cm³ into m³. You need to position the quantities in such a way you can eliminate the original ones, therefore:


`(1 g)/(1 cm^(3) ) (10^(6) cm^(3) )/(1 m^(3) ) (1 kg)/(10^(3) g)`

Now, you can make the calculations and you get:


`(1g)/(cm^(3) )` =
`( 10^(3) kg )/(m^(3) )`

Therefore your answer is: 1000kg/m³
