You can solve your problem to prove this.
(1cm^3)*(2.54cm^3/1in^3)*(36in^3 / 1yard^3) ----------> 1 yard^3 =7.65x10^5 cm^3
Also, 1 m^3 = 10^6 cm^3
Now multiply the densities to get desired values
Iridium ----------> (7.65x10^5 cm^3)*(22.4g/cm^3) = 1.71x10^7 g
Platinum--------> (10^6 cm^3)*(21.4g/cm^3) = 2.14x10^7 g
Thus, cubic meter of Platinum is heavier than a cubic yard of Iridium
Hope this helps

Close but the SG says it all. The Iridium by a hair.

take the density and multiply them by 3 for both of them which ever one comes out higher is ther heavier one
