Do most countries use metric system?

The metric system is based on what powers of what number?
The metric prefixes are powers of 10; most commonly, powers of 1000 (103) are used, that is, the power of 10 is a multiple of 3. For example, 103 = kilo, 106 = mega, 10-3 = milli, etc.
What is a base unit for mass in the metric system 1.meter 2. gram 3. pound 4. ounce?

Why is the metric system more popular than the English system?
Two main reasons.One is standardization. The metric system was designed to replace several different standards that existed before. If everybody uses the same system, things are much easier.The other is its ease of use. For example, in the metric system, 1 kilometer is 1000 meters. To convert 17 kilometers to meters, just add 3 zeroes. Now, try converting 17 miles to feet! For another example, try to add 5'7" + 7'8". The equivalent in the (decimal) metric system is much easier.Two main reasons.One is standardization. The metric system was designed to replace several different standards that existed before.

Why is important that we understand and are able to use the metric system?
Because virtually everyone uses it. The recalcitrant countries are USA, Liberia, Burma and some Caribbean Islands. Even in these countries, most scientists use the metric system. Finally, the metric system is so simple that even a child of 5 can master it whereas the conventional system requires fluency in multiplication by 2, 3, 6, 8, 12, 14, 16 and possible others.
What system unit do scientists use to measure the properties of matter?
The system of units scientist use to measure the properties of matter are the SI units.
Is density measured in cm-cubed?
No. cm^3 is a measure for volume. If you stick to the metric system, it would be grams/cm^3
What is a 3 letter word for metric square measure?
An "Are" is a metric unit of measure, equal to 100 square meters.
The smallest metric unit of liquid measure is?
3
Do most countries use metric system?
Yes. There are about 3 countries that do NOT use the metric system.
Give definition of force in metric system?
Force in the metric System is the Newton N, derived form the energy measure the Joule J=Nm, the Newton Meter. J=Nm= Force distance = 3/4 foot # N10f/3=3/4f# gives Newton N=9/40# = .225 #
What are 3 metric system units that we use to measure mass?
The SI unit is kilogram (kg); used also gram, milligram, microgram.
How many millilmeters in 3 metric cups?
NONE - millimeter is a measure of length.
Why do you have the metric system?
so we can measure your head ================ Because it's easier to use. Every unit is divisible by 10. It's designed for used with the decimal point. The last I heard, there are only 3 countries (U.S., Liberia, and Burma) in the world that don't use the Metric system. It is used exclusively in science because of the fact it is easier to use. Even the U.S. uses the metric system in science and medicine.
What are the 3 metric standard units used to measure mass?
There is only one and that is a kilogram.
What metric tool to use to measure a length of o driveway?
Meters (about 3 feet)
What does .991 in meters mean?
