No! It is based in tens.
E.g.
10 millimeters = 1 centimeter
10 centimeters = 1 decimeter
10 decimeters = 1 meter

What are linear measurements in the metric system based on?
The Metre
Measurements in science are communicated by using?
The world system of measurements units is based on the metric system (SI).
What are the two system of measurement and how do they differ In TLE subject?
The two systems of measurement include the English system which is based on the foot measurements, and the Metric system based on the Meter as the unit of reference.
The first system of measurements that was based on unit of tens was the what system?
the metric system
What are the two system of measurement and how do they differ TLE subject?
The two systems of measurement include the English system based on the foot measurements, and the Metric system which is based on the Meter as the standard unit of reference.

Created in 1795 it is a decimal system of measurements based on its unit of length?

To convert measurements in the metric syste you can move the decimal point left or right. Why does this work?
This is because the metric system and our number system are both based on powers of ten.
What powerare Metric measurements based on?
Metric measurements use powers of 10 to create larger and smaller units.

Give an example of English system and metric system?
The US Customary system is a system of measurements which is used only in the US and seldom elsewhere. Some of its measurements include: inch, yard, mile, pound, quart, pint, etc. Elsewhere, the metric system is used. This is an efficient system because it is based on powers of 10. Some metric units include: kilogram, millimeter, centimeter, and kilometer.
What advantages does the metric system have over the English method of measurement?
The English system is based on arbitrary numbers and measurements, such as 12, 36, and 5,280. The Metric system - every aspect of it - is based on even multiples of ten, both going upward, and going downward. Just ten. Nothing else.
What is the difference between metric and imperial?
Imperial measurements are based on multiples of various numbers eg 16 ozs in a pound, 14 pounds in a stone etc. Metric measurements are based on multiples of 10 eg 1000 grams in a kilogram etc. This makes Metric measurements easier to use in calculations.
What is metric measurment?
metric measurement is the system based on multiplies of 10. ie. there are 10 millimetres in a centimetre, 100 centimetres in a meter, 1000 metres in a kilometre. Similarly for other measurements such as the Litre, or the kilogram.
