How do you convert gram per cubic centimeters to kg per cubic meter explain?
You can multiply anything by 1 without changing it, a fraction with a numerator that's equal to its denominator equals 1, and common factors between a fraction's numerator and denominator cancel out. Also, whenever you see the word per in a word problem, think division.You're converting a fraction with grams in the numerator and cubic centimeters in the denominator to one with kilograms in numerator and cubic meters in the denominator. Therefore, you want to multiply by a fraction with grams in the denominator (to cancel out the grams) and kilograms in the numerator, and you want the quantities to be equal so the fraction equals 1. You also want to multiply by a fraction with cubic centimeters in the numerator (to cancel out the cubic centimeters) and cubic meters in the numerator that equals 1....(1 g/cm2) * (kg/1000g) * (10000 cm2/m2) = 10 kg/m2Since the second and third fractions each equals 1,1 g/cm2 = 10 kg/m2
