unit conversion help!?

Lead has a density of 11.34g/cm cubed and oxygen has a density of 1.81*10 to the -3 power g/ cm cubed at room temperature. How many cm cubed are occupied by one gram of lead?
Please explain how you would do this?
thanks in advance

Density = mass/volume

Volume occupied by lead = mass of lead/density of lead

V = 1 g/(11.34 g cm^-3)

~ 0.0882 cm^3

P.S. The density of oxygen is not needed for this particular problem - it's just extra information
