What is the metric system prefix for the quanity 0.000 001?
The metric system prefix for the quantity 0.001 is Milli.
Is degree celsius a si unit of measure?
The base unit for temperature is the kelvin. One degree celsius is the same as one kelvin, because kelvin starts at absolute zero, degrees celsius is kelvin plus 273.15.
Celsius is used for most non-technical uses.
Kelvin is just kelvin, not degrees kelvin.
How many ml is 1.7 fluid ounces?
If US fluid ounces, then about 50.2750 mL using a conversion site. A rough calculation is 51 mL, which I can do in my head - this way:
- A teaspoon is approximately 5 mL (from the instructions on most liquid medicines).
- There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon.
- There are 2 tablespoons in a fluid ounce, so that is 6 teaspoons in an ounce.
- That gives 30 mL in 1 fluid ounce.
- So 30 times 1.7 is the same as 3 x 17 which is 51.

What metric system unit is used to measure distance?
The base unit of length is the metre.
The SI system is based on seven base units, all the other units are derived from these. Length is on of the base units, and is measured in metres. The prefix system is a shorthand way of writing fractions and multiples of the base units. A millimetre is 0.001 metres, the milli- just denotes the number of decimal places, the distance is still being measured in metres but is written as millimetres to save on wrting or pronouncing all the zeros. millimetres and kilometres are still metres, the prefix merely indicates the thousandths or thousands of metres.
All distances are measured in metres, sometimes fractions or multiples of metres are used for ease, but the measurement is still in metres.

To convert from g to kg, divide by 1000.
What are the standard units of measurement in the metric system?
-- Kilogram = Mass
-- Meter/Metre = Length
-- Second = Time
-- Ampere = Electric current
-- Kelvin = Temperature
-- Mole = Amount of substance
-- Candela = Luminous intensity
Are the above are known as base units. Other units are known as derived units
What is 3.4 kilograms converted into grams?
