Converting Densities

I'm looking over the summer work submissions, and it appears the one giving people the most trouble is #24, converting densities.  They are tricky, mainly because you often have to deal with cubed units (for volume).  A good working of a problem like the ones you see online is here.  Just remember that you have to multiply a cubed unit by a conversion factor three times (or cube the factor) in order to cancel it.

Comments?  Other questions?
