I'm not exactly sure if I'm going in the right direction, but here's my thought process.
D = m/V (m is in grams and V is in cm^3)
2 m^3 = 200 cm^3 (is that right?)
1 x 10^4 kg = 10,000 kg (right?)
10,000 kg = 10,000,000 g (right?)
10,000,000 g/200 cm^3 = 50,000 g/cm^3
Is that the right answer? I may have made some miscalculations but I'm  not sure...

Oh yeah, and 50,000 g/cm^3 would be 5 g/cm^3 x 10^4 in it's scientific notation form, right?

Density is defined as: $\sf \color{red}{\frac{mass}{volume}}$

I know. Can you tell me if I solved the problem correctly or if I strayed wrong somewhere?
