What is the metric unit for snowfall?
The metric unit for snowfall is typically measured in centimeters (cm) or millimeters (mm). Snowfall is commonly reported as the depth of snow that accumulates over a specific area during a specific period of time.
What is 4ft 8in in the metric unit?
1.4112 meters.
1 Meter 41 centimeters 1.2 millimeters
-----------------
Explanation:
1 inch= 2.52 centimeters.
4 feet (48 inches) 8 in = 56inches times 2.52 = 141.12 centimeters.
100 centimeters in a meter.
Does Greenland use the metric system?
Greenland is a part of Denmark, a European country so it would use the Metric System.
How tall and what weight is Danielle Spencer?
Danielle Spencer is 5 feet 3 inches tall and her weight is not publicly disclosed.
The SI unit of load is the Newton (N). It is a measure of force and represents the amount of force exerted on an object.
Why was the metric system created and how has this change helped scientific research?
Before the metric system was created, previous systems of measurement we complicated to use because one unit had to convert into another unit by a wide variety of numbers (there are 2 pints in a quart, 4 quarts in a gallon, etc.) whereas in the metric system, all conversion are done in multiples of ten (ten times ten centimeters in a meter, etc.) which makes the mathematics much easier.
Which metric unit would you use to measure the capacity of a hot water tank?
You would use the metric unit "liters" to measure the capacity of a hot water tank.
How much is 22 square meters in feet?
I'm not sure you have given sufficient information to answer the question. You begin with a given length whic is one dimensional and you ask for a a given area which represents a two dimensional space. The formula for a given shape such as a rectangle: lenth x width = area or a triangle 1/2 the base X heigth = area So i don't quite understand when you only give a distance and want to fint an area. Maybe if you have more information this could be solved but I don't see any way possible without more information. I'm not sure you have given sufficient information to answer the question.

What is the SI unit of measurement for all forms of energy?
The SI unit of measurement for all forms of energy is the joule (J).
How much would a dog weigh using the metric system?
A dog's weight can vary widely depending on its breed, size, and age. Common dog weights in the metric system are typically measured in kilograms. For example, a small breed dog may weigh around 5-10 kilograms, a medium breed dog may weigh around 15-25 kilograms, and a large breed dog may weigh 30 kilograms or more.
How big is the thickness of a dime compared to the metric system?
A United States dime coin is 1.35 mm thick. See related link.
There are 3800 meters in 380 decimeters. 1 decimeter is equal to 0.1 meter.
A slightly garbled question, but is the unit of weight due to gravity the newton, yes.
Weight is the force exerted on a body by gravity, the unit for all forces is the newton. Mass is measured in kilograms, mass is a body's resistance to acceleration. In everyday usage mass and weight are virtually interchangable, since the acceleration mass resists is that due to gravity.
So weight is measured in newtons, but kilograms are used as a measure of weight on everyday language.
Which of the components in the Cost of Quality metric includes Training effort?
Training effort is typically considered a component of the prevention costs in the Cost of Quality metric. Prevention costs are incurred to prevent defects from occurring in the first place, and training efforts aim to improve the skills and knowledge of employees to prevent errors and defects in the products or services.
How do you write cubic yard in the metric system?
You don't, because a cubic yard does not belong to the metric system.
What is the only measure that is the same in the metric and english systems?
Temperature, measured in degrees Celsius in the metric system and degrees Fahrenheit in the English system, is the only measure where the units are the same in both systems.
1209 cm is equivalent to 12.09 metres. You can convert centimeters to meters by dividing the number of centimeters by 100.
What does the abbreviation MT mean in the metric system?
In some European and North American research facilities, a container that is utterly
devoid of material contents, and whose entire capacity is filled with a mixture of
equal parts by volume of air and vacuum, is customarily labeled "MT".
0.325 g = 0.000325 kg OR 3.25 x 10-4
To convert from g to kg, divide by 1000.
How do you convert an SI unit?
To convert an SI unit to another unit, you would typically use conversion factors or formulas specific to the units you are working with. For example, to convert meters to kilometers, you would divide the value in meters by 1000. It's important to know the conversion factors for the specific units you are working with.
1 kilometre = 1000 metres so 15 km = 15*1000 = 15,000 kilometres. Simple!
