Metric System
The metric system is an international basis of measurement based on a decimal system. It uses standard base units to name larger and smaller units.

What is the SI unit of sphericity?
Asked by Wiki User
There is not a standard SI unit to measure sphericity.
How many 800 meters in linear meters?
Asked by Wiki User
1 linear meter is equivalent to 1 800-meter length.
Asked by Wiki User
There is no equivalence.
An inch is a measure of length or distance in 1-dimensional space while a cubic centimetre (cc) is a measure of volume in 3-dimensional space. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
What are the general mathematical operations you use when converting from one SI unit to another?
Asked by Wiki User
To convert from one SI unit to another, you typically use multiplication or division. This involves multiplying by conversion factors if you are going to a larger unit and dividing by conversion factors if you are going to a smaller unit. It's important to keep track of units and ensure they cancel out correctly during the conversion process.
Which is greatest 17 m 17040000 cm or 17400000005 mm?
Asked by Wiki User
Convert everything to the same unit. Let's use mm. There are 1000 mm in 1 m, so 17 m = 17000 mm. There are 10 mm in 1 cm, so 17040000 cm = 170400000 mm.
Now compare them:
- 17000 mm
- 170400000 mm
- 17400000005 mm
The last one: 17400000005 mm is the greatest.
Is the metric system of measurements based in twelves?
Asked by Wiki User
No, the metric system is based on multiples of ten. It was designed to be a decimal system in which different units are related by powers of ten, making conversions between units simpler and more intuitive.
What is the length of a trout in metric units?
Asked by Wiki User
All lengths are measured in metres, because a trout is less than a metre long the length would be quoted in fractions of a metre. The fraction for a trout would be thousandths, millimetre. A 500 gram trout would be about 330 millimetres in length.
How many linear meter one running meter?
Asked by Wiki User
One linear meter is equal to one running meter. Both terms are used to measure the length of something in a straight line.
How many decka meters are in a meter?
Asked by Wiki User
There are 10 decameters in a meter. A decameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 meters.
Asked by Wiki User
The U.S. has not fully transitioned to the metric system due to historical reasons, inertia, the cost of conversion, and the vast infrastructure already in place that uses the Imperial system. Additionally, there hasn't been enough impetus from the government or widespread public demand to make the switch.
What is the standard SI unit for measuring the mass of the liquid in the breaker?
Asked by Wiki User
The standard SI unit for measuring mass is the kilogram (kg).
What is 10.5 grams converted to kilograms?
Asked by Wiki User
10.5 grams is equal to 0.01 kilograms. To convert grams to kilograms, you divide the number of grams by 1000.
How do you convert 3.250 kilograms to grams?
Asked by Wiki User
To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. So, 3.250 kilograms is equal to 3250 grams.
How many grams are in 35.0 kilograms?
Asked by Wiki User
Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). These are the denominations you need to list when converting metric units. Grams are three places to the right of kilograms. So you have to move the decimal place three times to the right (same as multiplying by 1000). You will get 350 kg = 350,000 g.
What is the standard unit of capacity in the metric system?
Asked by Wiki User
Who came up with the metric system in 1790?
Asked by Wiki User
The year presupposed by the question is not really correct.
During the early years of the French Revolution, the leaders of the French revolutionary Assemblée Constituante decided that rather than standardising the size of the existing units, they would introduce a completely new system based on the principles of logic and natural phenomena.
Initially France attempted to work with other countries towards the adoption of a common set of units of measure. Among the supporters of such an international system of units was Thomas Jefferson who, in 1790, presented a document Plan for Establishing Uniformity in the Coinage, Weights, and Measures of the United States to congress in which he advocated a decimal system that used traditional names for units (such as ten inches per foot). The report was considered but not adopted by Congress. There was little support from other countries.
Then, France started the ball rolling by passing the law of 18 Germinal, Year III (7 April 1795) which defined five units of measure (including metre, litre and gram). France officially adopted the metric system on 10 December 1799 with conversion being mandatory first in Paris and then across the provinces.

2 Imperial quarts = 2273.05 ml
What do you use to measure speed in the metric system?
Asked by Wiki User
You use exactly the same instruments to measure speed in the metric system as you use in any other system. For example, a speedometer, or a distance measuring device and a stopwatch.
The difference is that these devices are calibrated in metric units, instead of old-fashioned units.
What is the prefix for the 10000 's place in the metric system?
Asked by Wiki User
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)
How many inches in 128 cubic feet?
Asked by Wiki User
None.
An inch is a measure of length or distance in 1-dimensional space while a cubic foot is a measure of volume in 3-dimensional space. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
What is the fundamental until of temperature in the metric system?
Asked by Wiki User
The kelvin.
a change of one (degree) kelvin is the same as a change of one degree Celsius (one hundredth of the difference between the freezing and boiling points of water at Standard pressure.
What are the metric prefix's and their multipliers of the base unit from kilo to milli?
Asked by Wiki User
SI prefixes, also known as a metric prefixes, are names or associated symbols that precedes a unit of measure or its symbol to form decimal multiples or submultiples. SI prefixes are used to reduce the quantity of zeroes in numerical equivalencies. For measuring length (meter), volume (liter), or mass (gram) prefixes are all the same. Femto (f) 10-15 One Quadrillionth
Pico (p) 10-12 One Trillionth
Nano (n) 10-9 One Billionth
Micro (µ) 10-6 One Millionth (greek letter 'mu')
Milli (m) 10-3 One Thousandth
Centi (c) 0.01 One Hundredth
Deci (d) 0.1 One Tenth
one = initial value
deka (dk) = 10 Ten
hecto (h) = 100 Hundred
Kilo (k) 103 One Thousand
Mega (M) 106 One Million
Giga (G) 109 One Billion
Tera (T) 1012 One Trillion
Peta (P) 1015 One Quadrillion
What is five foot ten inches in meters?
Asked by Wiki User
Five feet ten inches is approximately 1.78 meters.
How many meters in one side of 3334 square meter area?
Asked by Wiki User
To find the length of one side of a 3334 square meter area, you would need to take the square root of 3334, which is approximately 57.73 meters.
What advantage does the metric measurements have over the English system of measuring?
Asked by Wiki User
Metric measurements are based on units of 10, making conversions between different units simple and straightforward. This uniformity allows for better standardization, accuracy, and ease of use in scientific and global contexts compared to the more diverse and complex English system of measuring.
