Question

One cubic centimeter (1.0 cm3) of water has a mass of 1.0  10-3 kg. 
(a) Determine the mass of 1.0 m3 of water

anonymous · Answer

One meter has 100cm. One cubic meter is therefore 100cm x 100cm x 100cm, multiplied are 1,000,000 cubic centimeters.
Water density of 1.0x10^-3 Kg per cubic centimeter MULTIPLIED BY 1.00x10^6 (one million) cubic centimeters equals 1.0x10^3Kg or 1000Kg or one metric ton.
I multiplied because I wanted to cancel the cubic centimeter from "the denominator of the density units with the numerator of the volume units"
