The SI base unit of volume is the cubic metre, but because the unit is cubed the normal prefixes can be slightly confusing; one metre is 100 centimetres, but one cubic metre is 100 cm x 100 cm x 100 cm which is 1 000 000 cm3. This means that litres are more commonly used, because a litre is a unit of volume it isn't cubed, so the normal prefixes apply.

metre - length/distance litre-volume kilogram-mass
What are the base units of measure for mass length and volume within the metric system?
basic unit of length mass and volume in the metric system are as follows . basic unit of length in the metric system is meter . basic unit of mass in the metric system is kg . basic unit of volume in the metric system is L.
The basic unit of volume is the metric system is the gram?
the what
In the metric system what does a quart equal?
A quart is a measure of volume, not weight. A liter would be the metric equivalent of a quart in terms of volume. If it's weight you're looking for, the basic unit of mass in the metric system is the gram.
What is the basic units of length of the metric system?
The basic lengths of the metric system ismilli,centi,gram,litre,metre,etc.
