Can someone help me with my chemistry density practice homework?

Spanish mahogany is a red, lustrous wood. It is prized over Honduras mahogany which does have the characteristic red color and similar grain, but the wood is not as compact and has a looser appearance than the Spanish mahogany. A hope chest made of Honduras mahogany has a volume of .648m^3 and a mass of 349kg. An identical hope chest made of Spanish mahogany has a mass of 550.8kg. What is the density(g/mL) of Honduras mahogany? What is the density(g/mL) of Spanish mahogany?

OK, Density = Mass / Volume
For the Honduras Mahogany: 349kg/0.648m^3 = 538.58kg/m^3
For the Spanish Mahogany:550.8kg/0.648m^3 = 850kg/m^3

*The chests are said to be identical so the same volume is used for both equations,
