Question

I need help understanding how to convert these measurements.

Answer 1

Convert 1.54 mg/cm^3 to kg/dm

 

Begin  with the first term:

 

1.54 mg/ cm^3

 

Pick one of the units to work on; let's pick mg (mass)

 

multiply the first term by a conversion factor with mg in the denominator, so that it cancels out, and, a true number and unit in the numerator:

 

1.54 mg/ cm^3 x 1g/1000mg

 

Continue likewise until you have achieved kg:

 

1.54 mg/ cm^3 x 1g/1000mg x 1 kg/ 10000g

 

Now, work on cm^3

 

1.54 mg/ cm^3 x 1g/1000mg x 1 kg/ 1000g x 10^3 cm/1dm^3  = ?

 

Time to solve: = .00154 kg/dm^3

 

Better check me...!
