500,000,000g=500,000kg500,000,000g=500,000kg

Explanation:

You have to multiply. The density equation is

rho=m/Vρ=mV

Solving for mm, we find that

m=rho*Vm=ρV

So, we can clearly see that we have to multiply.

:.m=0.5g"/"cancel(m^3)*1,000,000,000cancel(m^3)=500,000,000g

I converted my answer to kg since the number for g is too big.

:.500,000,000g=500,000kg

So, the cloud's mass will be 500,000kg.

"Mass" = 5 * 10^8 "g"

Explanation:

First let's look at the Density Formula:

"Density" = "Mass"/"Volume"

We are given two of these variables so therefore we can figure out the third variable. Let's input the variables we know:

(0.5"g")/(1"m"^3) = "Mass"/(10^9"m"^3)

Solve for Mass by multiplying by 10^9 on both sides:

(10^9"m"^3 * 0.5 "g")/ (1"m"^3) = "Mass"

The cubic meters cancel out:

10^9 * 0.5 "g" = "Mass"

Multiply:

"Mass" = 500,000,000"g" or 500,000 "kg"

Side Note:

For numbers greater than 10,000 it is recommend that they are written in Scientific Notation.

So the answer can be written as 5 * 10^8 "g"
