What is the volume of 20.4 kg of a solid. The density of this solid is 4.56 g/cm^3
I converted the mass to be the same units as the density.
20.4kg times 1000g/1kg = 20,400 g
Then I did 20,400 g divided by 4.56g/cm^3
My answer for density was 4473.68 cm^3
Did I do it COMPLETELY right?

What were you trying to find? The volume? You wrote "density".
If it's the volume, you are right. You could round it off to a whole number or 3 significant figures, I don't think it matters too much in Chemistry. :)
Edit: No, 3 s.f. would mean rounding off the first 3 numbers starting from a non-zero number. So in this case in would be 4470cm^3.

density = mass / volume
volume = mass / density
check your answer
volume = mass / density
check your answer

yes, you are right...if it's not correct try changing 4473.68 cm^3=4.47368 dm^3=4.473 dm^3
