Standard units of measure:
Volume - ounces, cups, pints, quarts, gallons
Length - inches, feet, rods, miles
Weight - ounces, pounds, tons

Metric units of measure:
Volume - liters
Length - meters
Weight - grams (and metric ton is 1000 kilograms or 1000000 grams)

All of the metric units can have prefixes that define magnitude such as:
Kilo - means 1000
centi - means 1/100th or 0.01
milli - means 1/1000th or 0.001
