Here is the answer to all your converting problems. Glad I could help!
Some common metric units of measurement are kilometers, meters, and centimeters. Many of the units used in the metric system are part of the SI international system of units used in the sciences.
The standard unit of length in the metric system is the meter. Other units of length and their equivalents in meters are as follows:
1 millimeter = 0.001 meter
1 centimeter = 0.01 meter
1 decimeter = 0.1 meter
1 kilometer = 1000 meters
The standard unit of volume in the metric system is the liter. One liter is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters in volume. Other units of volume and their equivalents in liters are as follows:
1 milliliter = 0.001 liter
1 centiliter = 0.01 liter
1 deciliter = 0.1 liter
1 kiloliter = 1000 liters
The standard unit of mass in the metric system is the gram. Other units of mass and their equivalents in grams are as follows:
1 milligram = 0.001 gram
1 centigram = 0.01 gram
1 decigram = 0.1 gram
1 kilogram = 1000 grams
The following conversions are useful when working with time:
1 minute = 60 seconds
1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds
1 day = 24 hours
1 week = 7 days
1 year = 365 1/4 days (for the Earth to travel once around the sun)
Charts, as printable pieces of paper, are commonly made to ISO Standards. The A series, of which A4 is a common typing page size. A0 requires 20 (1) sheets to make 1 sq metre. A4 requires 24 (16) sheets to make 1 sq metre.
And the sides of the sheet are of the ratio of 1:2-2 = approx 1: 0.707.
There is also a B series with similar logic, but different dimensions.
The units of the metric system are arranged in factors of ten. These are the prefixes used. (To convert, divide or move the decimal point for a given value.)

NO Such unit as 'Metric Inches'. In the metric system of linear measure, the unit is 'centimetres / metres'. In the Imperial System of linear measure, the unit is inches / feet. Next you are referring to linear measure, then at the end refer to volume measure; 'Cubic feet', Please clarify your question.
The volume of a liquid in the metric system can be expressed in liters or in cubic meters. Of course the metric system allows for the use of smaller and larger multiples of 10. Most useful!
Metric. Pro-tip: If you can add mili- centi- deci- to the front... its metric. ++++ Not sure that's much of a tip. The prefixes are simply divisions, but it is true that they are used normally only for metric units. However, the litre is indeed part of the metric system: it is the basic unit of fluid volume.
Beakers measure liquid volume. The units can be any fraction of a liter, but most commonly milliliters.
For volume or length, respectively.
Length in metric units is usually in meters, centimeters, millimeters, and kilometers but there are other possible metric units of length. Volume in metric units is usually in liters, cubic centimeters or cubic meters but there are other possible metric units of volume. Mass in metric units is usually in kilograms, grams, or metric tons - although there are other possible metric units of mass.

English (or imperial) units are things like:- Pint/gallon for volume Inch/foot for length Ounce/pound for weight (there are more) Metric units are:- litre for volume metre for length kilogram for weight
basic unit of length mass and volume in the metric system are as follows . basic unit of length in the metric system is meter . basic unit of mass in the metric system is kg . basic unit of volume in the metric system is L.
Length . . . meter Mass . . . kilogram Time . . . second Volume . . . cubic meter
The units for volume are the units for length cubed. For example, the base unit is the meter, and the cubic meter is the basic unit of volume.
meters, grams, liters Density is mass divided by volume.
No a meterstick is a tool used for measuring..mass, volume, time, length, and temperature are all metric units
Mass: kilogram Length: meter Volume: cubic meter (this is not a base unit, since it is derived from the meter)
