10000g of water

Explanation:

We know that 1000g=1kg

And we have 10kg of water

All we have to do is use the conversion factor as a ratio for division.

Always remember that what you want in the answer should be in the numerator

10kgxx(1000g)/(1kg)

When we do that, kg cancels out

10cancel(kg)xx(1000g)/(1cancel(kg))

One cubic meter actually holds 1,000 litres, which has a mass of
1,000kg

This is 1,000,000g

Explanation:

While Mese Q has answered the question that was asked, the information given is far from correct.

One cubic meter holds 1,000 litres.
Each litre of water weighs 1kg

Therefore the weight of the water in a cubic meter is 1,000 kg
or 1 tonne.

If this was to be converted into grams, you multiply kg by 1,000.

1,000 xx 1,000 = 1,000,000g
