Question

Convert a density of 7.2 g/ml into the unit kg/L

Answer 1

Unit conversion is a multi-step process, in which division or multiplication by a numeral factor is involved.

Density = $7.2 g/mL$    (given)

Since, $1 g = 0.001 kg$ and

$1 mL = 0.001 L$

Now, converting $7.2 g/mL$ to $kg/L$:

$7.2 \frac{g}{mL}\times \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}\times \frac{1000 mL}{1 L}$

= $7.2 kg/L$.

Hence, density is $7.2 kg/L$.
