Distance is measured in metres, or a variant which helps keep the number of figures down, like centimetres (cm), millimetres (mm) or kilometres (km). Alternatively, if yu prefer to remain in the stone age, for which I will forgive you, you would measure it with miles (a thousand paces traditionally), feet, inches, poles, and many other peculiar measurements.
Please try to convert to metric, as this is what the real world uses. You will struggle on holiday in Europe if you think Imperial.

What unit measures distance in the metric system?
The metre (meter in the USA) is the base unit of length in the metric system. It is equal to the distance light travels in a vacuum in a time interval of 1/299792458 of a second.
What are the 4 metric base units and what characteristic do they measure?
Meter (m) - measures length or distance. Kilogram (kg) - measures mass. Second (s) - measures time. Ampere (A) - measures electric current.
What metric unit measures the the length of your finger?
The metric unit that measures the length of your finger is typically in centimeters (cm).
What is the difference between 1 kiloton and 1 mile?
1 kiloton is a unit of explosive energy equivalent to 1,000 metric tons of TNT. It measures the power of an explosion. Mile, on the other hand, is a unit of distance that measures how far something is. These two units measure completely different quantities - one measures energy and the other measures distance.
How are metric different from standard units?
Metric measures ARE the standard - for the majority of people and nations.
A metric odometer measures distance in?
A metric odometer measures distance in kilometers. When you ride a bike, vehicle, or scooter and skateboard, you are traveling in kilometers.
What does a metric odometer measures?
Distance, in kilometers.

No Gram measures weight, meter measures distance
What is the equation to get the distance algebra?
It is possible to define a number of different metrics (measures of distance) on a space and the formula will depend on the metric. A simple pair of metrics to illustrate: imagine a town with a road layout like downtown Manhattan. Streets and Avenues at right angles to one another. The distance from one corner to another is a number of avenues across plus a number of streets up (or down). This is known as the taxicab or Minkowski metric. An alternative measure is a "as-the-crow-flies" distance. Both measures are perfectly valid but will give rise to different formulae. There are other metric, too.
