#"Kilograms, cubic metres, and kg"*m^-3"#.

Explanation:

And thus #rho("density")="mass"/"volume"#.

Because the #m^3# is a very large volume #(1000*L)#, chemists typically use #g=10^-3kg# to express mass, and #dm^3# (or #"litres"#) to express volume.

#1*dm^-3=(1xx10^-1m)^3=1xx10^-3*m^3=1*L#.

Chemists also typically use #g=10^-3kg#, to express mass.
