1 cubic meter = 1,000,000 cubic centimeters = 7,300,000 grams = 7,300 kilograms.

Answer: D

Enchanting · Answer

1 cm^3 = 7.3 grams  
  1 m^3 = 1 cm^3 *1000000 
  1 m^3 = 7.3*1000000 grm 
  1 m^3 = 7.3*\frac{1000000}{1000} Kg 
  1 m^3 = 7.3*1000=7300  
Answer :  Option D.

lacktutor · Answer

1 cm^{3}= 7.3  grams
 1 m^{3}= 100^{3}   cm^{3}= 10^{6}   cm^{3}

—>  10^{6}   cm^{3} =  10^{6}*7.3  =  73*10^{5}  grams

—>  \frac{73*10^{5}}{10^{3}}= 7300  kg

Answer (D).

Archit3110 · Answer

1 m^3 = 10^6 cm^3
given
1 cm^3 =7.3 gms
0r say 7.3 *10^-3 kgs

1 cm^3 = 10^-6m^3
10^-6 m^3 = 7.3*10^-3
1 m^3 = 7.3*10^3 
=> 7300
OPTION D

sofiase93 · Answer

Option D
(1,000,000/1,000)*7.3 = 7,300

perfectreview · Answer

Given  1cm^{3} = 7.3 grams

(1m)^{3}  =  (100cm)^{3}  =  1000000cm^{3}

If  1cm^{3} = 7.3 grams

Then  1000000cm^{3}   = 7.3*1000000 = 7300000 grams

In kg =  \frac{7300000}{1000} = 7300 Kg

prashant0099 · Answer

Determine the mass, in kilograms, of 1 cubic meter of a substance if the mass of 1 cubic centimeter of this substance is 7.3 grams.

1 cubic meter is 1,000,000 cubic centimeters and each cubic centimeter has a mass of 7.3 grams, so 1 cubic meter has a mass of 7.3(1,000,000) = 7,300,000 grams. Then, since 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams, 7,300,000 grams = 
7300000/1000 =  7300

eman22 · Answer

Shortcut 1 g/cm3 to kg/m3 = 1000 kg/m3

7.3 * 1000 = 7,300

CrackverbalGMAT · Answer

SOLUTION:

Given,1 cubic meter = 1,000,000 cubic centimeters

= 7.3 x 1,000,000 grams (1 cubic centimeter of a certain substance is 7.3 grams,(given))

= 7.3 x 1000 kg (1kg=1000 grams given)

=7300 kg (OPTION D)

Hope this helps

Anthony99 · Answer

Question: 
1) how did you go from 1m^3 = 7.3 * 1,000,000grm to 
2) 1m^3 = 7.3kg * (1,000,000cm / 1,000g)?

What was the reasoning you took to go from 1) to 2)? What was your reasoning for dividing 1,000g from 1,000,000cm? This is the part I am lost on.

nimishb23 · Answer

Since it is given that 1,000,000 cm^3= 1m^3, we can multiply 7.3 into 1,000,000

7.3*1,000,000=7,300,000 cm^3=1m^3

7,300,000/1000= 7,300

Hence Option D.
