m (meter) is for length.kg(kilogram) is for mass. S(second) is for time.A(ampere) is for electric currency. K(kelvin) is for thermodynamic temperature. mol(mole) is for the amount of material . cd(candela) is for light .We have seven base unit of measure in the metric system.

∙ 11y agoThe metric, or SI, system has seven base units, from these seven all other units are derived.
Length- metre (m).
Time- second (s).
Mass- kilogram (kg).
Temperature- kelvin (K).
Electric current- ampere (A).
Luminous intensity- candela (cd).
Amount of substance- mole (mol).

∙ 11y agoThere are seven base units in the metric, or SI, system. All other units are derived from these. There are:
Metre, m, length.
Second, s, time.
Kilogram, kg, mass.
Kelvin, K, temperature.
Ampere, A, electrical current.
Candela, cd, luminous intensity.
Mole, mol, amount of substance.

Units of mass in the metric system?
If, by 'metric system', you mean 'SI system', then the base unit for mass is the kilogram
The three base units in the metric system are?
-- Meter -- Kilogram -- Second -- Coulomb
The difference between the Metric System and SI?
There is no difference they are the same thingAnswerSI is the current version of the metric system.For example, the centimetre, the calorie, and the litre are examples of metric units, but they are not SI units.
What is the metric system based on mathematically?
The metric system, in mathematical terms, is a base 10 system. This means that the prefixes of the units change the value of the units by factors of 10. For example: 1 centimeter = 10 millimeters.
What is a metric time system?
Metric time is the measure of time interval using the metric system, which defines the second as the base unit of time, and multiple and submultiple units formed with metric prefixes, such as kiloseconds and milliseconds.
Is the metric system based on units of twelve?
No, the base for the metric system is ten.
Units of mass in the metric system?
If, by 'metric system', you mean 'SI system', then the base unit for mass is the kilogram
What are the basic units of time of the metric system?
The base unit of time is the second.
The three base units in the metric system are?
-- Meter -- Kilogram -- Second -- Coulomb

What is a 7 letter word where its third letter is n and has something to do with the metric system?
Candela, It's the base unit for luminous intensity; one of the seven base units of the metric system.
What is metric unit is?
What metric unit would you use to measure a computer keyboard
The metric system has seven base units of measure how many are derived from those seven?
20
How are metric units of measurement used in the laboratory?
base on what you measure to use the metric units.
What is a metric time system?
Metric time is the measure of time interval using the metric system, which defines the second as the base unit of time, and multiple and submultiple units formed with metric prefixes, such as kiloseconds and milliseconds.
What does the metric system fit into?
It is its own system, but is the base for the 'Systeme Internationale' scale of fully-coherent primary and derived units.
