volume x density

 

so I have 5.0x10^-4 km^3 as the volume and 1x10^12 kg km^-3 as density but I'm confused about the measurements for each. Does it become kg km?

Multiplying those units together would just give you kg. km^3 cancels out km^-3. Always remember the "does this answer make sense" test: density X volume = mass. So if all your units are correct, you will end up with an answer in units of mass.

 

How did you end up with kg km?

by converting 1x10^3 kg m^-3 to km. see attachment.

 

then 1x10^3 kg / 1×10^-9 km^3
