550 square yards = 459,87 square meters
4.3 centimeters is equal to 1.69291 inches. The metric system is used to measure things in most countries, although in the US, the use of the non-metric system (inches and feet) is still standard.
It means multiplying with constants from a non metric system (such as length using yards, feet, inches) to a metric system (using meters)
Convert the non-metric units to metric. It is a converter to the metric system, an international decimalised system of measurement, that is the common system of measuring units used by most of the world. Scroll down to related links and look at "Countries where the metric system is official are shown in green".
Liberia, Myanmar/Burma, and the U.S.A., are the only non-metric countries, and even these are increasingly turning to the metric system.
mi is the abbreviation for mile.
Because time is a constant. Whiles metric is relative. * * * * * Total rubbish! The second is the unit of time in the metric system.
The metric system is an international decimalised system of measurement official called: International System of Units ("Système International d'Unités" in French) hence "SI".
Officially United States use the International System of Units.Practically they use the old and obsolete British system with some non significant modifications.
No. England and the US are the main places still using non-metric units. The metric system was invented in France and the French use grammes (grams) and kg.
Use whatever is common in your country. In the long term, however, the entire world should switch to metric, for reasons of standardization, so if you happen to live in a country that uses non-metric units, you might try to push for metrification.
Do you mean, why is metric the only system used in science, or why is science the only place you use metric? Metric is used in science because it is the only recognized international standard system of measurements. Even units not in the metric system, like inches or pounds are legally defined in terms of metric measurements (an inch is officially 0.0254 metres). Scientists use the metric, or as they call it SI, system to avoid confusion when sharing information, Nasa'a mars rover crashed because one American company built their components us non-metric units. Also metric is easier to understand,learn and use. Science isn't the only place metric is used it is the only system of measure for almost the whole world, with only Liberia, Myanmar(Burma), and U.S.A using an alternative. If you haven't seen it outside of a laboratory you're probably not looking, it's everywhere.
