Metric System

The SI unit for length is the meter, but for longer distances the kilometer is used. There are 1000 meters in a kilometer.

The metric unit for measuring temperature is degrees Celsius (°C).

Winter diesel weighs about 1.92846 lbs (0.875kg). per litre or 7.3 lbs (3.311kg) per us gallon

== == the main attempt was to create a system that can be used internationally as a standard for weight, distance, volume and temperature. this would unite the scientific community and the commercial endeavours

2400 meters = 1.5 miles
1 kilometer (1000 meters) = 5/8 miles

No. :(

I Live in Puebla Mexico and have a US Town and Country Touring and was optimistic that it would work here. I went to the local Chrysler dealership and they literally came out to the car to look at the system because they had never seen one. I kept inquiring and they said that technically you could buy a disk for Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterey but that they had never seen one. It does not have the Mexican highways on it either.

Sam's Club in Mexico sells a Polaroid GPS (Polaroid, don't they make cameras?) that has all of Mexico on it. It runs about $250.

The standard unit is the meter (metre). It is equal to about 39.37 inches.

most common measurements are millimetre (mm), centimetre (cm), meter (m) and kilometre (km)

10 millimetres = 1 centimetre

10 centimetres = 1 decimetre

10 decimetres = 1 metre

10 metres = 1 decametre

10 decametre = 1 hectometre

20 hectometres = 1 kilometre = 1000 metres

Next metric wrench size larger than 1-3/8inches = 35mm.

A "square" is traditionally 10 foot x 10 foot, which is the equivalent of 3.048m x 3.048m. 3.048m squared is 9.29 square metres, so to divide square metres into (traditional) squares, divide by 9.29.

Bats use echolocation as their primary system of hearing. They emit high-frequency sounds and listen for the echoes that bounce back, allowing them to navigate and locate prey in the darkness.

There is no separate "multiple unit" set for time, only the standard "second" which is the same as all other time systems, and its associated subdivions (e.g. millisecond). Conversion would be into standard hours, days, weeks, and so forth. 86,400 seconds is a standard day. (see link)

If a foot contained 10 inches, calculations involving lengths could be simpler as measurement conversion would be easier and more intuitive. It would also lead to more uniformity in the system, making it more user-friendly for practical applications.

Respectfully, it is a foolish discussion to have.. There are really only 2 personal tax rates right now - with the second (higher) one effective only on that part of ones income above the top amount of the first one....so most people really only deal with one right now anyway! An certainly 2 doesn't seem excessive or overly complex.

The issue of the question, relates especially to tax code complexity and fairness, and really must address more of what comprises taxable income and deductions, not the rate applied. What I'm saying is it is generally agreed, fairness or Pros and Cons as such, are more determined by what you pay tax on than what the rate is.

Consider...mathamatically, if we have 2 rates now and went to one - all other things remaining the same (how much $ the Govt needs to raise by tax) - the rate for the higher rate would be lowered and the lower rate raised...can't happen any other way...unless you change what is taxed, in which case, likely those generally needy...who actually pay little or nothing now, will have to pay the flat rate on much more "taxable" income. Because of many things, the affluent really already have most all new "marginal" income as taxable income at the higher rate now!

dm3 or litre

---------------------------------------------------------------

The volume unit in SI is the cubic metre (m3).

The litre (L or l) is only an "accepted" unit in SI; 1 m3 = 1 000 L.

By English unit you mean Imperial unit.
The imperial unit for mass is the pound (lb)

1 inch = 2.54 cm. There are 36 inches in a yard. So, 36 x 36 x 36 = number of cubic inches in a cubic yard. Therefore, 2.54 cubed x 36 cubed equals the number of cubic centimetres in a cubic yard. 2.54 x 2.54 x 2.54 x 36 x 36 x 36 = 764,554.857984 cc/yd cubed. Divide by 1000 to get 764,554857984 litres. Divide by 1000 to get 0.764554857984 metres cubed in one cubic yard. To answer the original question, 1 / 0.764554857984 = 1.3079506193143922314977040871853 cubic yards in a cubic metre.
1 cubic metre = 1.308 cu yards.

1 kg = 1000 g

At 17oC one gallon of water weighs 4.536kg.

I don't work for the government but I can attempt to answer your question:

1) The US has an extremely powerful automotive industry which uses a tremndous amount of its financial profits to fund lawyers who argue the case for protecting their industry to the lawmakers in Washington DC who then in turn, control things from there. 2) Since the beginning (Ford's invention, 1904-1912)when the car replaced the horse, Americans have always loved the car. This is because American culture is deeply rooted in loving freedom and independence (on both the collective- societal level and also an individual level). Since at that time men controlled the purchasing power of the society, owning a car became as much a personal status symbol as a symbol of national economic power--Not only did we invent it, we promoted it more than anyone else, becasue we needed it more than others (such as the europeans who, have many small winding sttreets and crowded cramped cities). Remember-- Europe is much older than the US-- it was never designed for cars 1st becasue governments never expected the invention; second, becasue governments never expected a huge increases in population requiring more space and more people on the road. Our nation by contrast is quite spread out expecially iun Florida, Texas and California--Japan and France do not have the same landscape. 4) we are standing by to eventually purchase one, but need to wait for France, Japan and Germany to "iron out" the weaknesses in their systems before designing one which solves everybody's problems. Hope that helped!

The U.S. population is not dense, people are separated far across the nation. For this type of country, air travel is an advantage. High- speed rail will make better profits in high-density countries like China, Japan, Mexico, ets.....

There are generally no inherent drawbacks to the metric system. However, some challenges may include the cost of transition for countries using a different system, the need for people to adapt to new measurements, and potential resistance due to familiarity with the existing system.
