1 gram is 1/800 000 of 800 kilograms.
Therefore the volume is also 1/800 000 times smaller:
1/800 000 cc (that is, 0.000 0125 cc).

The fastest way to do this problem is TO DO THIS PROBLEM. You've alreay waited 4 minutes to solve this problem that should take less than 1 minute.
It's a straight proportionality problem. You have 1/800000th of the mass, what should the volume be?

divide both sides by 800000. 1/800000 of that substamce in cm^3 equals one gram(800 kilograms = 800000 grams).

1 cm3..........800 000 g
x cm3..........1 g
x=1g * 1 cm3 / 800000 g
x=1/8 *10-5 cm3 = 1/8 * 1/100000 cm3 = 1/800000 cm3

1g/800,000g*1cm^3=1.25*10^-6 cm^3
