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

Answer 1

Noah Archer

#10000g# of water

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

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

This is #1,000,000g#

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#

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
