What are the three principles from which the metric system is based?
The metric system is based on three principles: the meter as the unit of length, the gram as the unit of mass, and the liter as the unit of volume. All other units in the metric system are derived from these base units using prefixes to denote multiples or fractions.
What is the prefix for the 10000 's place in the metric system?
There is none but sometimes you may find "myriad".The SI system discourages all prefixes that are not thousand multipliers or dividers. However certain prefixes are so historically entrenched that they will not vanish soon. Some examples of 'unsupported' prefixes are: centimeter (hundredth) decimeter (tenth) decathelon (ten) hectoliter (hundred)
What is metric height?
Metric height refers to the measurement of a person's height using the metric system. In this system, height is typically measured in centimeters or meters. For example, a person who is 170 cm tall has a metric height of 170.
How do you measure land miles in metric system?
You don't, miles are not a unit in the metric system. All distances are measured in metres. Prefixes are used for multiples or fractions of a metre. Distances that used to be measured in miles would, today, be measured in kilometres.
When you use a metric system to measure liquids?
When measuring liquids using the metric system, volume is typically measured in milliliters (mL) or liters (L). A common conversion is that 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. To convert between different units within the metric system, you can use the prefixes such as centi- (1/100), milli- (1/1000), or kilo- (1000).
Why do people consider the metric system easier to use than US system?
The metric system uses conversion factors of 10 for all units. Instead of remembering all the different conversions between each unit (4quarts=1gallon, 5280feet=1mile, ect), you only have to memorize a couple of prefixes. The (common) metric prefixes are Milli=1000th Centi=100th Deci=10th Deka=x10 Hecto=x100 Kilo=x1000

Does the U.S.A. use the metric system to tell time?
The metric system isn't used for day to day time measurement. The point of the metric, or SI, system is that it is a universal standard, the normal 24 hour clock is already the established universal system. Within the SI system the base unit of time is the second, all the normal prefixes apply, but since multiples of seconds are generally quoted in minutes and hours, the prefixes are mainly used with fractions of a second; milliseconds, nanoseconds etc.

What is the metric system dealing with science?
All it is is the math metric system
What are all the the temperatures in the metric system?
In the metric system we use Kelvin and Celsius.
Are all metric units also system international?
No, not all metric units are part of the International System of Units (SI). The SI is a coherent system of units derived from the metric system, but it is more specific and defined, and not all metric units are included in the SI.
What is the metric unit that is used to measure an objects mass?
The base unit of mass is the kilogram, all masses are measured in kilograms All other prefixes are fractions or multiples of kilograms, but they are still kilograms.
Give three advantages of the metric system over the English system of measurement?
One advantage is that it is based on 10 making it easy to move the decimal place over and when rounding. Another advantage is the that the rest of the world uses it so that we can all communicate in the language of the metric system. And lastly it has 3 units and prefixes so you just add the prefix necessary for the measurement you are looking at. The prefixes are kilo, hecto, deka, base units,deci,centi, and milli.
