   I am not sure if I did this answer right... A material will float on the surface of a liquid if the material has a density less than that of the liquid.  Given that the density of water is approximately 1.0g/ml, will a block of material having a volume of 1.8*E4 in cubed and weighing 350lb float or sink when placed in a reservoir of water? and what is the density of the block of material?

Yes, I am able to convert from lbs , I have worked the problem I just want to know exactly where I went wrong.

First you need to find out the density of the block. Do you know how to convert pounds into grams?

1. Check your conversion from Pound to Grams

2. Check if the given volume of the blockis also in milli-litres.

It's less than 1.0 g when it floats on water...
