Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:  For the given data, it should be converted that density of silver in $g/c{m}^3$ to density in $kg/m^3$.

Concept Introduction:

Conversion factor:

A conversion factor is a fraction in which the same quantity is expresses one way in the numerator and another way in the denominator.

For example, $\text{1 in= 2}\text{.54 cm}$.

We can derive a conversion factor for the following fraction:

$\frac{\text{1in}}{\text{2}\text{.54cm}}$.

Numerator and denominator express the same length, so this fraction is equal to 1.

It can be written as $\frac{\text{2}\text{.54cm}}{\text{1in}}$
