Question

A cubic meter of water has a mass of 10 kilograms. How much water is this in grams?

Answer 1

`10000g` of water

Explanation:

We know that `1000g=1kg`

And we have `10kg` of water

All we have to do is use the conversion factor as a ratio for division.

Always remember that what you want in the answer should be in the numerator

`10kgxx(1000g)/(1kg)`

When we do that, `kg` cancels out

`10cancel(kg)xx(1000g)/(1cancel(kg))`

`rArr10000g` of water

Answer 2

One cubic meter actually holds `1,000` litres, which has a mass of
`1,000kg`

This is `1,000,000g`

Explanation:

While Mese Q has answered the question that was asked, the information given is far from correct.

One cubic meter holds `1,000` litres.
Each litre of water weighs `1kg`

Therefore the weight of the water in a cubic meter is `1,000` kg
or 1 tonne.

If this was to be converted into grams, you multiply kg by `1,000.`

`1,000 xx 1,000 = 1,000,000g`
