rate of rxn given concentrations and rate constant

For the concentration of hydroxyl radical of 7.5E06 molecules/cm3 and a carbon monoxide concentration of 18 ppm, calculate the rate of its reaction with atmospheric carbon monoxide at 11 degrees C, given that the rate constant for the process is 5E-13 E-300/T molecule-1 cm3 sec-1.

Hint: Convert the rate constant to a numerical value. Calculate the CO concentration to molecules/cm3, calculate the rate.

I had an OTA help me but I am still getting the wrong ANSWER.  I am supposed to multiply k*[CO][hydoxyl radical]  and convert CO to molecules/cm3.
