In the metric system, how many milliseconds are needed to make one second?
Seconds are not part of the metric system, they are a unit of time measurement. The metric system is based on the meter, kilogram, and second as the base units for length, mass, and time respectively.
The standard unit for time in the metric system is the second (s).
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.
There are seven base units in the SI:* meter for length* kilogram for mass* kelvin for temperature* ampere for current* second for time* candela for luminous intensity* mole for amount of substance

The metric unit for time is seconds.
Time is not decimalized in the metric system because it is bound to change because of the revolution of the earth.

The fundamental unit that is the same in both the metric system and English system is the unit of mass, which is the pound (lb) in the English system and the kilogram (kg) in the metric system.
Time is a relative construct and if a metric measurement for time were to be created it is quite possible. A system in which this existed may be in line with other metric measurements. There may be 100 "Metric" seconds within a minute, and 100 Metric Minutes within a Metric Hour.
Only three countries still cling to the "English" system, whereas the whole world uses metric. The SI units were established in 1960 as part of a review of the metric system used at the time; it uses metric units because it is the current version of the metric system.
The base unit of time is the second.
