Homework Statement


My problem is to determine whether or not my conversion is correct.

2.00 g/cm^3 is = _______ kg/m^3


Homework Equations


If I'm not mistaken,

1 cm^3 = 0.000001 m^3
1kg = 1000g



The Attempt at a Solution


My equation:

2.00 g/cm^3 (1kg/1000g)(1cm^3/0.000001m^3)
= 2,000 kg/m^3
