What's the question? You have the formula density = mass / volume so mass / density = volume. Just convert the kg to g before solving.

The key to this question is to convert the 53.7 Kg to grams by multiplying by 1,000.
Then you can use the D = M/V to calculate the V.

Let the metal be called M
53.7kgM x 1000gM/1kgM x 1cucmM/4.35gM = 12,300 cu cm (to three significant figures)
