What is the most appropriate metric unit for the width of a page of a text?
Millimeters are commonly used. It is also possible to use cm or dm.
What started the metric system?
The imperial system was too difficult to calculate with. The metric system started in Fance and because it was all based on powers of 10 it made calculations much easier
How to convert metric system to standard using scientific notation?
Multiply everything by (1 x 100), since the metric system is 'standard' almost everywhere in the world.
Note:
The same conversion factor is useful for converting 'ml' to 'cc', and 'cycles per second' to 'Hz'.)
Which is greater 16 kilograms or 9200 grams?
16 kilograms (kg) is greater than 9200 grams (g):
16 kg = 16 000 g > 9200 g
9200 g = 9.2 kg < 16 kg
When you convert in the metric system what are you doing to the number?
you are dividing it by ten if you are going up, times it by ten if you are going down.
What is the metric unit used for weight?
'Weight' is force. The SI unit of force is the Newton.
1 kilogram exerts a force of 9.8 newtons one Earth's surface.
1 pound is about 4.448 newtons.
1 newton is about 3.6 ounces.
What would you use in the metric system to measure the width of an adults hand?
You could use cm, meters (eg. 0.18cm ) or millimetres . A mix of cm and mm should be best for accuracy .
IS Cambridge system better than metric system?
No because there is no such as the Cambridge System of measurements.
'
I think you've seen and misunderstood publicity for or reports on, a major academic conference hosted in July 2015 by Cambridge University, on the history, philosophy and science of measurement at a time of studies into the fundamental definitions of the basic metric units.
'
Nobody was trying to invent a new system. They were looking at unit-definitions that would suit the most rigid scientific demands, such as in quantum physics and astronomy, where relating measurements to a standard metal bar is just not precise enough. It's worth noting that the University of Cambridge is particularly noted for its mathematics research and teaching.
How do you figure out how many centimeters are in 1.75 meters?
1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters.
So if you convert 1.75 meters to centimeters:
1.75 m x 100cm/1m = 175 cm
So in 1.75 m, you have 175 cm.
Diurnal height variation is the variation in height over the course of a day. People are at their maximum height when they wake up. As they go through the day, their own weight causes the spine to compress so that by the end of the day they are shorter. Then, when they sleep the spine recovers its normal length. This is clearly important when monitoring growth rates of children.
What unit of measure is used to measure the length of a rowboat in metric?
The metric unit of length is the 'meter'.
What is the area of a room using the metric system?
Centimetres squared, mtrs squared etc. example, a room is 5 mtrs wide and 10 mts long the area of the room is 50mtrs squared
SI stands for Systems International. The unit for matter is kilograms. This unit can be used to describe the largest amount of matter to the smallest amount.
What are some advantages that the metric system has over the imperial system?
The metric system has the advantage of base 10 conversion. There are 100 centimeters to a meter, 1000 milliliters to a liter, and 1000 grams to a kilogram. This means that so long as you are using Base 10 for your calculations, all you have to do to move a decimal point.
What does 30C mean in Fahrenheit?
86 °FTo convert from °C to °F you use the formula °F = (9/5)x(°C) +32
That means 30 °C converts to:
9x30/5 + 32 = 9x6 +32 = 54 +32 = 86 °F
In the metric system what is weight measured in?
Weight is measured in kilograms. There are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram, and 1000 kilograms in 1 tonne.
The metric system is an international standard for all countries. So they can be understood by scientists all around the world.
It also goes up in regular intervals in multiples of 10 eg there are 100 centremetres in 1 metre and 1000 metres in 1 kilometre. whereas the English system goes up in random numbers. eg 12 inches in a foot
There is an 'SI' unit for each quantity measured. eg length is metres weight is grams. then the prefix denotes what proportion of the SI unit it is. eg kilo means thousand so you know for any SI measurement if it has kilo in front of it then it is 1000 times that unit. a kilogram is 1000 grams!!
in not sure that made sense but yea. i think SI means standard international but im not sure.
also the metric system units all are interlinked
eg 1 milliliter of water has a volume of 1 cubic centremetre and weighs 1 gram
cool eh?
ny way sorry for the super long answer...
:-)
2.5 km = 2500 m
To convert from km to m, multiply by 1000.

Why is important to use the metric system when conducting scientific investigations?
The metric system is in place as a standard unit of measurement. It's important to use standardized units so that scientists elsewhere, anywhere, can repeat the investigations to confirm the work.
What are the possible units for the measuring system in the metric system?
The metric system uses units such as meters for length, grams for mass, liters for volume, and seconds for time. It follows a decimal system with prefixes to indicate multiples of ten, such as kilo- for thousand and milli- for thousandth.
