Question 1097289: A block of material is 8cm long,2cm wide and 3cm high, and has a mass of 46g. what is its density?
SOLUTION: Density = mass divided by volume = g/cm^3
Mass you have given is 46g
Volume = L*W*H = 48CM^2
therefore Density = 46 divided by 48=9.58g/cm cube
Which system of units you used in the above answer to express density? Are there any other systems of units to express density of an object? Then, convert your answer and show.

Your thought process is correct however your density calculation is incorrect.
46%2F48=0.958g%2Fcm%5E3
You used g%2Fcm%5E3.
Common density units are kg%2Fm%5E3.
You then use a conversion factor,
1g%2Fcm%5E3*1%2F1000kg%2Fg*100%5E3%2F1%5E3cm%5E3%2Fm%5E3=1000%28kg%2Fm%5E3%29%2F%28g%2Fcm%5E3%29
