Measurements in science are communicated by using?
The world system of measurements units is based on the metric system (SI).
What are the two system of measurement and how do they differ In TLE subject?
The two systems of measurement include the English system which is based on the foot measurements, and the Metric system based on the Meter as the unit of reference.
The first system of measurements that was based on unit of tens was the what system?
the metric system
What are the two system of measurement and how do they differ TLE subject?
The two systems of measurement include the English system based on the foot measurements, and the Metric system which is based on the Meter as the standard unit of reference.
Give an example of English system and metric system?
The US Customary system is a system of measurements which is used only in the US and seldom elsewhere. Some of its measurements include: inch, yard, mile, pound, quart, pint, etc. Elsewhere, the metric system is used. This is an efficient system because it is based on powers of 10. Some metric units include: kilogram, millimeter, centimeter, and kilometer.

Created in 1795 it is a decimal system of measurements based on its unit of length?

To convert measurements in the metric syste you can move the decimal point left or right. Why does this work?
This is because the metric system and our number system are both based on powers of ten.
What powerare Metric measurements based on?
Metric measurements use powers of 10 to create larger and smaller units.

What are the differences between the metric system and the English system of measurement?
The Metric System is used in over 95 percent of the world. But in the United States, Liberia, and Burma, the English system is used. Neither is more accurate, but only 3 countries use the English system.The English system is more ancient, and it has its roots from the then more common measurements. Hands to describe height feet yards etc. also for weight, they stemmed from stones ( 14 lbs ) ounces, pounds, hundredweight, tons etc.The metric system is a modern system, with all measurements based on the decimal system (everything based on 10 or multiples of).The METRIC system is based on increments of the number 10 in both volume and linear measurements. The units of linear measure are: Kilometer - 1,000; hectometer - 100; decimeter - 10; base - 1; decimeter - .1; centimeter - .01; millimeter - .001.METRIC volume is measured in kilograms, milligrams, grams, etc., which are all based on the number 10, also.The ENGLISH system of linear measurement is based on inches, feet, yards; 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard, 5,280 feet in a mile, etc.In ENGLISH weight the measurements are based in ounces, pounds, etc., which are: 16 ounces in a pound; 2000 pounds in a ton, etc.ENGLISH volume is based on cups, pints, quarts, gallons, etc. One cup = 8 ounces; 1 pint = 2 cups or 16 ounces; 1 quart = 4 cups or 32 ounces; 1 gallon = 16 cups or 128 ounces, etc.
What advantages does the metric system have over the English method of measurement?
The English system is based on arbitrary numbers and measurements, such as 12, 36, and 5,280. The Metric system - every aspect of it - is based on even multiples of ten, both going upward, and going downward. Just ten. Nothing else.
Is the metric system of measurements based in twelves?
No! It is based in tens. E.g. 10 millimeters = 1 centimeter 10 centimeters = 1 decimeter 10 decimeters = 1 meter
What is the difference between metric and imperial?
Imperial measurements are based on multiples of various numbers eg 16 ozs in a pound, 14 pounds in a stone etc. Metric measurements are based on multiples of 10 eg 1000 grams in a kilogram etc. This makes Metric measurements easier to use in calculations.
