help with a problem - kilograms, cubic meters, etc.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

The mass of 1 cubic meter of a certain substance is 800 kilograms under certain conditions. What is the volume in cubic centimeters of 1 gram of this substance under these conditions? (1 kilogram = 1,000 grams and 1 cubic meter = 1,000,000 cubic centimeters)

Thanks so much,
Emily

should be 1,000,000/800,000 or 1.25 cubic centimeters per gram

Mass = Density * Volume
For the same substance, density is constant!

1.25 cm^3 is the correct answer.
