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.
There are only three countries that have not officially adopted the metric system as their system of measurement: the United States, Liberia, and Myanmar.
-- Meter -- Kilogram -- Second -- Coulomb
Meters, liters, kilograms.
THE METRIC SYSTEM WONDERLAND or THE WONDERS OF THE METRIC SYSTEM
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.
We learned the metric system in math today.
There are only three countries that have not officially adopted the metric system as their system of measurement: the United States, Liberia, and Myanmar.
-- Meter -- Kilogram -- Second -- Coulomb
Inches, feet, and pounds
The units are: -- Kilogram -- Meter -- Second. All of the other units in the metric system are fractions, multiples, or combinations of these three.
As of 2016, the only countries that do not use the metric system are the US, Burma and Liberia. All other countries use the metric system.
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.
