What is the mass of a femur (leg bone) having a volume of 118 cm^3? The density of the bone is 1.8 g/cm^3?

I would really like to know what the formula is to determine the answer to this question for my chemistry homework. If you would like to give me the answer to go along with it so I can check my work then that would be alright but really I am just looking for guidance on how to do it because if I don't know how to do it on my own then it won't help me in the future or on a test. Thank you.

    this is good practice for my quiz tomorrow :)

    density=(mass/volume) so move everything so you get mass by itself.... ----> mass=density x volume

    1.8g/cm^3 x 118 cm^3 = 212.4 g

    hope I helped!! :)
