Inch, Foot, Yard, Mile.
Though there is no exact Imperial equivalent to the metre the SI units of measurement are replacing the Imperial units as they are more convenient and self consistent.
That is the famous "metre", wellknown all over the world.
Miles.
There are MANY units used to measure distances both in Metric and in English types. We use Feet and Yards to measure distances in the US. The academic field often uses metric units like meters and kilometers to measure distances. For larger or massive distances there are the units of miles (English) and Kilomiters (Metric) and then in space we have the Astonomical Unit (Distance from earth to Sun) and the Light Year for the biggest distances. And there are the smaller measures of inches and millimeters.

However you want: Speed is a measure of units of distance per units of time. Miles per hour or meters per second are common ones.
As far as I am aware, the second (measure of time) is the only unit common to the English and metric system.

inches or centimeters, I would use inches.
Miles.
In the context of length, a unit is a measure of distance, whereas a square unit is a measure of area.

If there is some longer distance that is known to you, see how long it takes you to walk that distance. Then divide the distance by the time, and convert to common units, like kilometers / hour. Or better convert to common units before dividing (if it takes you 6 minutes to walk the distance, calculate 0.1 hours; if the distance is 200 meters, calculate 0.2 km.).

determine the units of a caterpillar's speed if you measure the distance the caterpillar travels in centimeters and the time it takes to travels this distance in minute
Units that are not the same. For example, metre, square centimetre and Newton. A metre is a measure of distance, a square centimetre is a measure of area, a Newton is a measure of force.
