Units of measurements in the Philippines?
I published an e- book entitled "Philippine Units of Measurements". Page 2 of the book shows the literal meaning of each measuring unit while page 3 shows a list of my online references related to Philippine measuring units. Note: The estimated foreign unit equivalents are mere "estimates" and not 100% precise. They're merely based on my estimations. The list of links shown in page 3 may provide a more accurate/factual information. Visit the link below: http://www.scribd.com/doc/18048667/Philippine-Units-of-Measurements
Why is a ratio expressed without writing units?
In a ratio of measurements for the same kinds of units, units get canceled. For example, in a ratio of 3 meters / 8 meters, you can cancel the "meters" in the numerator and the denominator. An important ratio is pi, which is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. If you measure the circumference in feet, and the diameter in feet, then divide circumference/diameter, then the result is the dimensionless quantity 3.14159265.... If you go back and measure both in meters, you get the same answer.In a ratio of two measurements, the units cancel, so it makes no difference whether you write the units, or not.
Is AREA is measured in square units?
YES!!! For example;- A rectangle may have sides of 3 units and 5 uints. To find the area you multiply these two sides together. Hence Area = 3 units X 5 units = 15 sq. units(square units ) Note the use of the word 'square for area units. Theis method of description is used when measurements are in the Imperial System/ However when using the Metric system, , the units are described as 'Units^2'. Volume becomes 'cu.units' ( cubic units) ; Imperial and 'units^3' ( Metric)
What is the box that has the bottom of 4 units by 5 units and 3 units high?
60 units^3
What is the volume of a prism with the following measurements 3 times 4 times 3 units?
If it is a cuboid, its volume is 36 cubic units.
Which units of measurements are used when calculating capacity?
capacity = volume = (any unit of length)3
When multiplying 3 inches by 7 feet you must carry the measurements o the same units?
Yes.
Why is perimeter is measure in units and area is measure in square units?
in area you are measuring the capacity. Volume has a 3 because it is lengthxwidthxhight area is only lengthxwidthImproved Answer:Because the perimeter is the outside measurements of a given area which are in linear units and the measurements inside a given area are in square units.
Why might a long piece of chalk measure 8 units and3 units?
Measure the lenth of a long piece of chalk the chalk is 8units long it was 3 units long explain why both measurements might be corret
What are the 3 basic units of measurements in the SI system?
Meter, kilogram, and second. There's an argument for liters, but it is really just cubic meters.

How many pieces of white wood 3 by 3 by 13 in 1 cubic meter?
It would depend on the units used for the measurements that are given. 3 by 3 by 13 whats? Millimetres, centimetres, inches?
Richard and tanya measured the length of a long piece of chalk richard said the chalk was 8 units long and tanya said it was 3 units long explain why both measurements might be correct?
They were using different units of measurement. For example, 8 cm is equal to 3 inches approx.
What is the area 3 x 4.3?
If the value of "3 X 4.3" given are measurements of the sides of a rectangle and are both in the same dimension of length, then the area is 12 square units of the length units specified for the given dimensions. Questions asking for area should always have a specification of the linear units in which the dimensions of the area are measured.
What are the measurements of the chameleon head?
the measurements are 3 in.
Why it is necessary to include a unit after a number?
Because all measurements are counts in terms of a units. For example, 3 minutes is less 2 hours even though 3 is not less than 2.
