Not math but science. If I'm trying to calculate mass with density and volume, assuming density is measured in kg/m^3, can my volume measurements be in cm or do I have to convert them to m?

I'd convert to metres.

You have to convert. As an example of why this is necessary, just imagine adding 100g of sugar to 1kg of flour. The total mass is either 1.1kg or 1100g, but it's not 101.
