When your cooking you need to know how much milk or water you need and if you don't have it in milimeters you can put it in meters.

LitersTo measure the capacity of a soup spoon you would use litersAlso if you want to know how i know this is because when you measure on the unit capacity you ALWAYS USE LITERSremember this all your life!
Why does schools study the metric system?
to help you move further in life because in Canada people use the metric system and it would help to learn it
How is the metric system used in everyday life?
In real life, the metric system is used universally in scientific work all over the world.It is also used to talk about length, width, height, area, volume, mass, weight, distance,temperature, and speed, by common ordinary people in their everyday real life and workall over the world, except in Liberia, Burma, and the USA.
Why is the metric system used in science?
Because the rest of the world uses the metric system. If you leave the U.S., science is still science. If we used our system, it would be hard to convert our discoveries. {ADDED} It would not be "hard" arithmetically but it would certainly add extra work, so everyone including American scientists, now uses the single, SI units for consistency and co-operation. The SI (Systeme International) units are a single set of mathematically-coherent dimensions based on the metric system, temperature in ºCelsius or ºKelvin (same "size" but differing 0º points), and fundamental electrical units.
Would you say cells bacteria algae plants or animals are basic units of life?
Yes because they contian cells and cells are the basic unit of life.
Are metric units for science?
They are used a lot in science. However, the metric units are also used in daily life, in most countries - with the notable exception of the United States.In some cases, non-metric (non-SI) units are also used; for example, it is customary to use degrees Celsius for temperature (instead of Kelvin); or to use time units other than seconds (such as minutes, days, years) for time.
What is the present status of metrication in the Philippines?
The Philippines has been gradually metricating since the 1970s, but the process has been slow and incomplete. While metric units are commonly used in scientific and technical fields, the country still employs a mix of metric and non-metric units in everyday life. There is ongoing effort to fully transition to the metric system, especially in sectors like education and trade.

How many units for life are there?
there are 2 different units of life
Would you consider cells as the basic units of life?
No, I would say Carbon, or C on the periodic table.

What will happend if standard units not used in daily life?
Chaos and confusion would take place.
What are units are part of both us and metric systems?
For example, seconds. Also, many of the more "technical" units, that are used in science and technology, but not so much in the daily life of a common person - for example, ampere, coulomb, henry, watt, ohm, tesla, etc.

Approximately how many inflatable boats would you need on a cruise ship?
A cruise ship is required to provide safety measures for its passengers. The number of life rafts would depend on the capacity of each raft as well as the ship's capacity for the maximum number of passengers. If a cruise ship has a maximum passenger capacity of 1000, it would require, for example, 100 10-seat life rafts.
Would everyone on the Titanic lived if they filled up the boats?
No, even at capacity, there were only enough life boats for about half of passengers on board. More would have been saved if the boats were filled at capacity, but not all.
