Ok, most important thing to know here,
mass = density*volume,
1 in = 2.54cm,
1 in3 = (2.54^3) cm3 = 16.387 cm3,
1 kg = 2.2 lbs,
1 kg = 1000g = 1000,000 mg.
1 in3 = (2.54^3) cm3 = 16.387 cm3
A = 108 carats * 200mg/carat = 21600 mg = 0.021600 kg
0.0216 kg * 2.2 lbs/kg = 0.04752 lbs.
B = 21600 g = 21.6 g
21.6g / (4.51g/cm3) = 4.789 cm3
4.789 cm3 * (1 in3 / 16.387 cm3) = 0.2922 in3
