rho=19.5xx10^3*kg*m^-3ρ=19.5×103kgm3

Explanation:

rho=19.5*g*cm^3=(19.5*10^-3*kg)/(10^-2m)^3ρ=19.5gcm3=19.5103kg(102m)3

(19.5xx10^-3*kg)/(10^-6m^3)19.5×103kg106m3

(19.5xx10^-3*kgxx10^6)m^-3(19.5×103kg×106)m3 because (1/x^-1=1/(1/x)=x)(1x1=11x=x)

=19.5xx10^3*kg*m^-3=19.5×103kgm3

The price of gold is currently $1232-10*USD*"troy ounce"^-1$123210USDtroy ounce1.

Given that a "troy ounce"troy ounce -= 31.1*g31.1g, how much is your nugget worth?
