Default I'm studying for a chemistry exam and I don't know how to do this. can you help?

A textbook measures 250 mm long, 224 mm wide, and 50.0 mm think. It has a mass of 2.94 kg.

a. What is the volume of the book in cubic meters?
b. What is the density of the book in grams per cubic centimeter?

Thanks!

To make it easier,
1) Convert mm to m by dividing by 1000.
2) Convert mm to cm by dividing by 10

a) Volume = Length x Width x Thickness (use the values in (1) )

b) Calculate volume using values in (2)

Density = Mass / Volume
