What is the volume of 1 g of butter with a density of 0.92 g/cm^3?

Can someone help me on finding volume of butter. the stick has 120 cm^3 and a mass of 110 g. So what is the volume of 1 g of butter.
I know you have to find density of 110/120 = .92 but then I get stuck what's next. thanks

By definition:
{Density} = {Mass}/{Volume}
Solving for Volume, we get:
{Volume} = {Mass}/{Density}

From the problem statement, we have:
{Density} = (110 g)/(120 cm^3) = (0.917 g/cm^3)

Thus, for your required 1 gram of butter:
{Volume of 1 gram} = {1 gram}/{0.917 g/cm^3}

{Volume of 1 gram} = 1.091 cm^3
