1 decimeter is equal to 0.1 meters, and 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters.
There are 600 decimeters in 6 meters. This is because there are 10 decimeters in 1 meter, so to convert meters to decimeters, you multiply by 10.
In the metric system weight is a?
Weight is measured in the metric system using the unit of mass called the kilogram (kg). It is important to note that weight and mass are different concepts, where weight is the force created by gravity acting on an object's mass.
The answer is 11.02 inches (approx.). Inches and centimeters are both units of linear measurement. Inches are used in the imperial system whereas centimeters are used in the metric system. To convert from cm to inches, multiply the cm unit by 0.393701.
How many pounds is 1.7 kilograms?
17/2.2=7.23 kilograms
1 pound equals 0.45359237 kilograms 15 lbs would be 6.80388555 kilograms
First take the weight in pounds and multiply by 453.59. The resulting number is the weight in grams. To convert grams to kilograms, simply divide by 1000. Or, an easier option is to take the weight given in pounds and multiply by 0.45359. In this case the answer is 7.71 kilograms.
17 lb = 7.71107 kg
There are 7.71107029 kilograms in 17 pounds.
17 lb = 7.71107 kg
2 lb = 1kg therefore 17lb = 8.5 kg.
The capacity of a thimble in metric units is what?
The capacity of a thimble is typically around 1 to 2 milliliters.
There are seven metric base units (m, kg, s, A, K, cd, mol). Each of these base units represents, at least in principle, different kinds of physical quantities. From these seven base units, several other units are derived. In addition to the SI units, there is also a set of non-SI units accepted for use with SI which includes some commonly used units such as the volts(that are metric but not a base unit).
So volts can be also written as: m2·kg·s−3·A−1 but for easier usage V is used instead.
How much does a cubic yard of steel weigh?
The weight of a cubic yard of steel can vary depending on the type of steel. On average, steel weighs around 490 pounds per cubic foot. Therefore, a cubic yard of steel would weigh around 13,440 pounds.
Advantages of English system over metric system?
Because the units are multiples of ten, they can easily be calculated using our base-ten number system, and expressed in interchangeable terms by simply moving the decimal point (no calculation is required, as in changing miles to feet).
The metric (SI) system is in use in more areas of the world than the others, including the English units of measure still widely in use in the US.
There's 10 mm in 1 cm, and 10 cm in 1 dm, so there are 100 mm in 1 dm.
Calculate the volume of mix needed by multiplying 20x20x9. This gives cubic inches. Then divide that answer by 144 cubic inches per cubic foot, and you have the volume in cubic feet.
A cubic foot of asphalt is a different weight depending on the weight of the rock in contains, but let's 158 pound of asphalt hotmix per cubic foot. Multiply the volume in cubic feet, above, by 158lbs, and you have the weight of mix per 20x20x9.
Divide the answer by 2000 to convert to tons. Divide the tonnage by the weight per cubic feet calculated above in the second paragraph.
I'm guessing you mean what is the smaller measure for distance in the metric system. The system is millimetres, centimetres, metres then kilometres. There are 10 millimetres to a centimetre, 100 centimetres to a metre, and 1000 metres to a kilometre. (Note: the American spelling of metre is meter, so the measures would be millimeter, centimeter, meter, and kilometer).
Which of these units is a part of both US and metric system?
The unit of mass, the kilogram, is a part of both the US customary system and the metric system. In the US customary system, pounds are used for mass measurement, while the metric system uses kilograms.
28.3 g = 0.0283 kg
To convert from g to kg, divide by 1000.
Prefix 'kilo' is used to denote multiples of meter and uses factor 103 or 1000
9 meters = 9 / 103 = 9 / 1000 = 0.009 kilometers
