What is larger kilobyte megabyte terabyte or gigabyte?
A bit is a binary digit. A bit has only two states, off or on. We denote these states with the numeric symbols 0 and 1.
A byte is a group of bits, typically 8 bits in length. A byte is also the smallest unit of storage in a computer's memory, each of which has a unique address.
A kilobyte (KB) is 2^10 bytes which is 1,024 bytes.
A megabyte (MB) is 2^20 bytes which is 1,048,576 bytes or 1,024 KB.
A gigabyte (GB) is 2^30 bytes which is 1,073,741,824 bytes or 1,024 MB.
A terabyte (TB) is 2^40 bytes which is 1,099,511,627,776 bytes or 1,024 GB.

How many liters of diesel are in 1 metric ton?
Diesel has a density of about 850 kgm-3.
So 1000 kg would have a volume of 1.176 m3. mass divided by density equals volume (kg / kg m-3= m3) 1000/850=1.176.
So 1 tonne (10000kg) - 1.176m3, 1m3=1000 litres, 1 tonne diesel = 1176 litres.

There is no "unit of conservation of energy". The unit for energy is the Joule.
There is no "unit of conservation of energy". The unit for energy is the Joule.
There is no "unit of conservation of energy". The unit for energy is the Joule.
What is one ounce equal to on the metric system?
One fluid ounce equals 0.03 liters. Just remember the acronym 'King Henry Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk'. Kilo-, Hecto-, Deka-, Base, Deci-, Centi-, and Milli-. Each can be multiplied to find the different measurements.
How many meters in 700 square feet?
There are 0.3048 meters in one foot. Therefore to get amount of meters in feet, value in feet has to be multiplied by amount of meters in one feet:
700 feet = [feet] * 0.3048 = 700 * 0.3048 = 213.36 meters
1 kg = 1000 grams so 0.15 kg = 0.15*1000 grams = 150 grams. Simple!
Why was the US' Go Metric movement of the late '70s aborted?
Everone was used to the U.S customary system, it would be to hard to switxh over. There would not be anymore fractions and it would all be wasted.
It depends on the distance between the two points. If it is more than a kilometer apart then you would use kilometer. Unless you wanna do it with centimeter. It's just whatever is easier.

1 cup is 8 fluid ounces (236.6 ml), and 1 metric cup is 250 milliliters (8.45 fluid ounces).

0.023 kg = 23 g
To convert from kg to g, multiply by 1000.
The answer is 57.09 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.
Disadvantage of the English system of measurement to metric system of measurement?
Imperial measurement is omplicated, inconsistent and generally difficult to use. For example, how many inches - or feet, or yards, or furlongs and so on in a mile? Now have a look at how many centimetres - or millimetres, or metres - are in a kilometer. For the first you need a calculator. For the second you simply multiply by tens.
What shows the abbreviation for the SI unit of destiny?
The abbreviation for the SI unit of density is kg/m^3, which stands for kilograms per cubic meter.
Are 25 grams and 25 kilograms equal?
No, 25kg is the equivelant of 25000grams. Meaning therefore, 250 grams is 0.25kg By the way, quite easy to find a conversion table on many search engines.
