Metric System

10 metres in 5 seconds; divide the distance by the time, 10/5= 2 metres per second

I believe because the metric system is more widely used and nowadays even parts that have been made to measure according to British measurements, such as nuts and bolts are being produced according to the metric system.

The liter is a unit of volume in the metric system.

The metric system is considered more logical than the standard system because it is based on powers of 10 which makes conversions between units easier. The metric system also has a standardized set of prefixes that denote multiples of 10 which simplifies calculations.

A mil being a thousandths of an inch, it is 0.0026 inches.

Because the measurement were alot harder to remember.

The Metric System, the measurements are easier to remember

The metric system was invented in France during the revolution because a new France required new measurement units. (also because back then every city defined the units different, causing major confusion in trade) To make the new system easy to learn and remember, it was based on increments of ten instead of the imperial system wich uses multiple different ones. (interesting fact: The system used to include a 20 hour day, 100 minute hour, and 100 second min.

A furlough is a break from work that is unpaid and mandatory. The unit of measurement that is probably being confused is a furlong, which equals 201 meters.

The basic unit is Kelvin but you are more likely to use a Celsius degree. The measurement unit is the same but, whereas the Kelvin scale is absolute (it has a meaningful 0 point), the 0 on the Celsius scale is arbitrary.

A little over 1 cubic inch of gallium

To convert meters to centimeters, we use the fact that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters. Therefore, to convert 0.75 meters to centimeters, we can multiply 0.75 by 100 to get 75 centimeters. Thus, there are 75 centimeters in 0.75 meters.

i think so because the united states is the only place that doesnt use the metric system alot

The French originated the metric system of measurement (now called the International System of Units and abbreviated SI, pronounced ess-eye). ... Most historians agree that Gabriel Mouton, the vicar of St. Paul's Church in Lyons, France, is the “founding father” of the metric system. He proposed a decimal system...

Every country in the world has adopted the Metric System except for Liberia, Myanmar and the U.S.A.

A number of countries, including Canada and the United Kingdom, use Imperial for some things. For instance, Canada measures human heights and cooking ingredients using Imperial measure. Britain measures human weight in stone (which is even more antiquated than the American standards of measurement) and road distances in miles.

The weight of a bookcase is typically measured in units of mass, such as kilograms or pounds.

The only three countries who do not use the metric system as their primary system of measurement are the United States, Liberia and Burma (Myanmar). Other countries have adopted the system but do not use it in all cases, for example road distances and speeds are still measured in miles and miles per hour in the United Kingdom.

110 ounces = 3118.45 grams (3.118 kg), irrespective of the material

There are 0.00062 miles, approx.

The following system can help you convert ANY two compatible units (for example, one unit of length to another unit of length). In any case, you need to know the conversion factor (which you can look up in the Wikipedia, among others). As an example, let's say you want to convert 15 inches to centimeters. The conversion factor 1 inch = 2.54 cm. Write this conversion factor as 1 inch / 2.54 cm, or as 2.54 cm / 1 inch. Both are equal to one. Multiplying by one won't change a measurement. Now, to convert the 15 inches to cm, you write either:15 inches x (1 inch / 2.54 cm)or:15 inches x (2.54 cm / 1 inch)Simplify, if you can. Only one of the two conversions does something useful - in this case, it is the second one, because the units cancel. The first conversion doesn't give you useful information, since the units come out as square inches / cm. Even though this is technically correct, but doesn't simplify the answer, so you just discard this option.

No. There two main advantages are that it is extremely easy to convert from measurements on one scale to another (for example meters to centimetres) and that many of the units for different characteristics are related in a simple form. For example, the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 kilogram by 1 metre per second squared is 1 newton. The pressure exerted by 1 newton on an area of 1 square metre is 1 pascal, and so on.

Optical power (also referred to as dioptric power, refractive power, focusing power, or convergence power) is the degree to which a lens, mirror, or other optical system converges or diverges light. It is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length of the device.[1] The dioptre is the most common unit of measurement of optical power. The SI unit for optical power is the inverse metre (m−1).

Yes, there is a site called science made simple online that allows you to convert from the metric system for your recipe. It has a detailed chart that you can easily follow.

That depends what there are 39.37 of...

39.37 inches = 1.000 metre

1.75 Kilometers is 1750/1000 as a unsimplified improper fraction, 7/4 as a simplified improper fraction, and 1 and 3/4 as a proper & simplified fraction.

One millimetre more than previously.
