Milliliters (mL) are a more precise measurement than liters (L). You can figure out how many liters you have by dividing the milliliter measurement by 100.

75 mL = .75 L

What can you use other then a graduated cylinder or a displacement to measure volume?

Technically, for a liquid, one could use Erlenmeyer flasks or beakers to measure volume; however, it will not be as accurate as a graduated cylinder. A buret can also be used to measure the volume of a liquid if more accurate results are needed.

What metric unit of mass would you use to measure the volume of a kettle?

You don't use a unit of mass to measure a volume. Mass and volume are two different things. Mass is measured in kilograms. The main unit of volume in the SI is the cubic meter, but for a kettle, the liter (= cubic decimeter, or 1/1000 of a cubic meter) can be used instead.
