Is 9 decimeters greater than 86 centimeters?
9 decimeters is 90 centimeters, so yes, it is greater than 86 centimeters.
What is larger 1000000 mm or 100 m?
WE must know the relation between two units of a metric system. If we have to compare or either convert the unit to each other. Now,here we have to compare mm and m .so ,lets discuss its relation .
1 m=1000 mm.
Hence, 100 m=100000 mm.
From this conversion ,we can see 1000000 mm is greater than 100 m.
What is the metric equivalent of the US unit of horsepower?
The metric unit of power is the 'watt', and of course its power-of-ten multiples
and submultiples are used where necessary to produce convenient numbers.
Probably the closest to the horsepower is the 'kilowatt' = about 1.3405 HP .
How many cubic centimeter in 1 cubic decimeter?
I think... It is 12, but you had better go somewhere else to search this up because I'm just guessing.

How was the metric system established in India?
The International System of Units (SI), or the metric system, was established in India in a number of stages between 1955 and 1962.
In December 1955, the Parliament adopted the metric system in weights and measures when the Standards of Weights and Measures Act was passed. This became effective in October 1958. Alongside, the Indian Coinage Act, passed in 1955, introduced decimal coinage. The new system of coins became legal tender on April 1957, where the rupee consists of 100 naye (= new, this prefix was later dropped) paise. For the next five years, both the old and new systems were legal. From April 1962, the old systems were prohibited.
What metric measures distance?
Distance is measured in metres, or a variant which helps keep the number of figures down, like centimetres (cm), millimetres (mm) or kilometres (km). Alternatively, if yu prefer to remain in the stone age, for which I will forgive you, you would measure it with miles (a thousand paces traditionally), feet, inches, poles, and many other peculiar measurements.

examples: (conversion factors in brackets)
length
inches (*25.4)= millimetres
miles (*1.609)= kilometres
weight
lbs (* 0.4536)= kilograms
tons/imperial(*1.016)= tonnes/metric
