Oh, how I hate to do dimensional analysis in math problems! I have not done technical math in a while... so, can someone please help me?

How does one convert 1.55kg/m^3 (that's m with an exponent 3) to g/L?


A sincere "thanks" to anyone who can help me as I work hard to brush up on my math skills!

use 1kg=1000 g and 1m^3=(10 dm)^3=1000 dm^3=1000 L

so 1550 g/1000 L= 1.55 g/L
