Find the volume first,
V=1%2A.6%2A.3
V=0.18m%5E3
Convert from cubic meters to cubic centimeters (1m=100cm),
V=0.18%2A%28100%2F1%29%5E3cm%5E3
V=180000cm%5E3
So then the mass would be,
m=rho%2AV
m=18000%2A2.7g
Once you have the mass, it will be in grams.
Divide by 1000 to get the mass in kg.

.
m = ro%2AV = 2.7%2A100%2A60%2A30 = 486000 grams = 486 kg (kilograms).
