When you are using the "cgs" system (centimeters gram seconds). But you might prefer cubic miles or cubic metres etc if you were dealing with large things.

You can't. The whole point of finding volume is to convert mL to cm3. To do this, use use the rule: 1mL = 1cm3
With water it's easy. 1 cm3 of pure water equals 1 gram. With everything else, you need to know the density. Then use the formula density = mass / volume. Re-write the formula as mass = density x volume. The unit of density is g/cm3 - so you need not convert the units.
V = M/D, where V is the volume, M is the mass, and D is the density. Density is mass per unit volume. Be certain to use a consistent set of units. The common units for density are kg/m3 and g/cm3. Hello I'm Bob
Any substance with a density of 2.7 grams per cm3. Aluminium and Al alloys have a density of around 2.7 gcm-3
Well, isn't that just a happy little math problem! To find the area of the base of the rectangular prism, we can use the formula Volume = Area of Base x Height. Since the volume is 186.0 cm3 and the height is 1.6 cm, we can rearrange the formula to find the area of the base by dividing the volume by the height. So, the area of the base would be 186.0 cm3 ÷ 1.6 cm = 116.25 cm2.
