As I remember from grade school back in the 1960's I believe it was called: "Units and Standards" We refer to the U.S. measurement system today as the "Standard Measurement," "US Standard," "English Units," "US Customary Units," and "Imperial Units."
Some similarities of the metric and customary systems
Think of it this way,there are 1000cc to one litre (Think of a cars engine capacity measure ment) and there is also 1000 ml to a litre,the two units of measurement equate to being the same as each other.That's the way I remember it. Blood is usually in units of CC
King Hector Died By(units) Drinking Choc. Milk
No, Inches are part of the American "Customary" system...Metric is way easier to use but America refuses
Volume will always have the word 'cubic' in the definition
i need to know a quick easy way to convert units of measurement
The US has their own way of measuring things, I guess, and there really isn't an explanation for it.
These must be units which are neither in the foot-pound system or the SI system. Mostly these are obsolete units but in some out of the way countries old units may still be used, and sometimes old customs persist. For example in Germany people still ask for a 'pfund' by which they mean a half kilo, which is slightly more than a pound in weight.
A decimal system of numbers is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. The basic units are ones (units, tens and tenths, hundreds and hundredths, and so on.
Impossible to answer - since the units of measurement are totally unrelated. The only way to answer this is to add another known variable such as speed.
Del units is a ficticial unit for pain measurement. There's no way to mesure pain in a objective way because there are just too many factors to take into account. The most common way used is a scale in which the patient (or the person of the study) evaluetes from 1-10 its pain.
