Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

depends on what you have in the 740cc's as cc-cubic centimeters is a volume. so if you had 740cc's of air it will weigh a lot less than 740cc's of lead.

If you have 740 ccs of water, you can convert it to lbs by remembering that one cubic centimeter of water weighs one gram. Therefore you have 740 grams of water, which by the miracles of the SI system, is the same as 0.74 kg. Now we can convert one kg to 2.205 lb, so 0.74 kg would be 1.63 lbs.

Just a quick note to add to this. If you visualize what a cc is it may help with the weight issue as well, especially when you are checking your answers.

A cc is also called a ml. These measurements are often used in the world of medicine. If you go to your local hospital or ambulance and ask to borrow a syringe (different sizes), you can see how much volume is in 1 cc by looking at the amount of water needed to fill the syringe to 1cc and so on.

Once you can see this in your minds eye, the calculation should make sense to you.
