remember:
**in solving these kinds of problems, always look at the unit of measurement, whatever you divide cancels out the unit and whatever you multiply squares it...
in this case,
we have grams and grams/ml..
so what we have to do is:
convert..
54.1grams x 1mL
-------------------------
3.26 grams
grams cancel out leaving you with only mL
16.595mL = answer..
hope this helps!

54.1 grams / 3.26 grams/mL=
(grams cancel)
54.1 / 3.26 /mL= 16.60 mL

Let the substance be called S
54.1gS x 1mL/3.26gS = 16.6mL
