What is the difference between fifty yards and fifty meters?

Do you mean metric or imperial? Metric is used in Europe, and with certain things in the US. Imperial is used in the US and a few other holdouts. Anyways, mass is used in the metric system, so their unit is the gram.

What does 59.1 inch come out to in cm?
The answer is 150.11 cm (approx.). Inches and centimeters are both units of linear measurement. Inches are used in the imperial system whereas centimeters are used in the metric system. To convert from inches to cm, multiply the inch unit by 2.54.1 in = 2.54 cm so 59.1 in = 150.114 cm
How many fl oz is in 6 qt?
that depends on whether you are using the US System or the Imperial System. in the US System a quart is two pints and a pint is 16 US fluid ounces, so 6 quarts is 192 US fluid ounces. In the Imperial System (used in the British Empire after 1824) a quart is still two pints, but a pint is 20 Imperial fluid ounces. So in the Imperial System 6 quarts is 240 Imperial fluid ounces. US fluid ounces are a little larger than Imperial fluid ounces.
Can you give an example for a mixed base number system?
Almost any set of Imperial units.12 inches = 1 foot, 3 feet = 1 yard, 22 yards = 1 chain and so on.
Which is not a unit of measurment in the metric system?
A cubit Yeah, that is a unit that is not only not an international system, it is as far as I know an archaic and poorly defined unit that is not currently in use anywhere. Technically, the question is poorly worded because we are asked to compare a unit with a system of units. Since no system of units consists of just one unit, the answer to the question is any unit of measurement (including one that is part of the international system of units) is not the international system of units. So if the questioner is asking for a currently used system of units that is other than the international system, there are probably many such systems. Any system other than the metric system will do. The one I am familiar with is the English system, also known as the FPS (foot-pound-second) system.
