The Attempt at a Solution

Hey guys! I can tell that this is a very simple plug in equation however if my awnser needs to be in "g/s" then can I multiply my numbers as is, or do I need to convert the cm to meters. and the 1g/cm3 to kg/m3?

Simply write out the multiplications along with the units and see if they cancel/combine appropriately.
