substance under these conditions? (1 kilogram=1000 grams and 1 cubic meter
= 1,000,000 cubic centimeters)
---------------
1 cubic meter of a substance is 800 kilograms
1 cu meter = 800 kg
1 cu meter = 800,000 grams
1 gram = 1 cu meter / 800,000
--------------
1 cu meter = (100cm)^3 = 1,000,000 cu cm
--------------
1 gram = 1,000,000 cu cm /800,000
1 gram = 1.25 cu cm
