Solution
1 litre of water weighs 1 kg = 1000 gm, and 1 litre $= 1{,}000{,}000$ cubic millimetres (since 1 litre $= 1000$ cm³ and 1 cm³ $= 1000$ mm³). So 1000 gm corresponds to $1{,}000{,}000$ mm³, meaning 1 gm corresponds to 1000 mm³. Therefore 0.1 gm corresponds to $0.1 \times 1000 = 100$ cubic millimetres.
