5= density
1. ok.
2. There are seven (7) SI base units.
3. ok.
4. A cube 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm = 1000 cm^3 = 1000 cc = 1 dm^3 (decimeter cubed) = 1 L. The liter is not an SI unit but it is approved by one of the committees in the US for use with the SI system. Whether 1 L or 1 dm^3 goes in the blank is for you to decide based upon your notes and what your teacher has told you.
5. ok. However, weight is not an SI unit either.
