Metric System

229 cm = 90.16 inches, approx.

There are seven base units in the metric system.

Metre, m, measures length.

Second,s, measures time.

Kelvin, K, measures temperature.

Kilogram, kg, measures mass.

Ampere, A, measure electrical current.

Candela, cd, measures luminous intensity.

Mole, mol, measures amount of substance.

In English the unit of temperature if Fahrenheit shown as F°. In Metric the unit is Celsius shown as C°.

1 mile = approx 1.6 km, so (22 cents/km) x (1.6 km/mi) = 35.2 cents/mi

There are approximately 19.37 inches in 492 millimeters.

79 because 12 times 6 = 72 plus 7 = 79

Time is typically measured in seconds in the metric system. Other units that can be used for longer time intervals include minutes, hours, or days, but they are not part of the official SI units for time.

1 kilometre is 0.621 miles, miles don't divide up into decimal fractions easily; 0.621 miles is 1 093 yards 1 foot and 10.07 inches.

334 kilometres is 207.537 miles, or 207 miles 946 yards 2 feet and 4.80 inches.

Metric is much, much better, simply because it works in base ten.

One pound of plaster of Paris will cover approximately 16 square feet for a 2 mm thickness coating on a domestic wall. The coverage may vary slightly depending on the surface texture and application method.

All units are base 10, meaning changing units is a simple matter of moving the decimal place; unlike the imperial system that has a no standard base number and you have to rememeber the right number and recalculate each time you change units.

Volume is measured in cubic metres, because the unit is cubed it means that the normal prefixes can be confusing; there are 100 cm in 1 m, but 1 000 000 cm3 in 1 m3. This means that the non-SI unit of the litre is used in most cases. 1 m3 is 1000 litres.

50,000 grams equal 50 kilograms.

A meter stick can measure length in meters and centimeters. It is also useful for measuring, drawing straight lines, and serving as a straight edge.

No, "Kalvin" is not a standard metric unit of measurement. The Kelvin (with an "e") is the unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI).

kilo (k): 1000

mega (M): a million

giga (G): a billion

milli (m): 1/1000

micro (the Greek letter mu, which looks a bit like a "u"): a millionth

nano (n): a billionth

There are others, too, for example, for larger or smaller numbers.

It would be impossibly hard but it could be done. Just like Australia did it, literally overnight. and they changed their pounds and shilllings to dollars and cents overnight, too. They just said...we are changing ..here's the info, learn it.

You can't. centmetres are units of length, and kilograms are units of mass.

If you know the density of the box, in grams per millilitre, multiplying the length by height by depth of the box in centimetres will give the volume in millilitres. Multiplying the density by the volume will give the mass in grams.

A comma has nothing to do with the metric system. You put it there to make it easier to read large strings of digits. Alternatively, you could use spaces or other "delimiters".

10000 = 10,000 = 10 000 etc.

A standard sheet of plasterboard is typically 4 feet by 8 feet, which is equivalent to about 1.2 meters by 2.4 meters.

It depends what units you are making. for example: 1ft=12in. for better usage use a calculator and a measuring tape.

Not only that, if the unit you want to convert is either bigger or smaller than the output number depending on what it is you have to multiply or divide.

Liberia uses the imperial system due to its historical ties with the United States, which also uses the imperial system. The country's educational system and infrastructure were established based on the imperial system, and switching to the metric system would require significant resources and time. Additionally, there may not be a pressing need for Liberia to transition to the metric system.

Both came from something that was observed naturally, and came from the need to facilitate trade. The metric system, however, based it's measurements on standards that could be replicated, and there was the base unit with multiplier prefixes. So while the natural system (or customary system) has for length measurements (inch, foot, yard, mile, etc) the metric system only has the meter and then multiples of meter (like centimeter is 1/100 of a meter, or kilometer is 1000 meters).

one inch is 2.54 cm, there are 30.48 cm in a foot.
