The metric, or SI system of measurement is based on units which, in most cases, are related to larger or smaller units by multiples or factors of ten. The exception is time where the factors are 60.

A decimal number is 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. Measurement units in the metric system are related to one another by multiples of powers of ten (or 1000).
The SI (International System of Units) is called a decimal system of measurement because it is based on powers of ten, making it easy to convert between units by simply moving the decimal point. Each unit in the SI system is defined in relation to base units, and prefixes such as kilo-, centi-, and milli- indicate multiples or fractions of ten. This structure simplifies calculations and enhances clarity in scientific and everyday measurements.

Decimal refers to the numbering system based on powers of 10, whereas metric is a system of measurement based on meters, grams, and liters as the fundamental units. Decimal can be applied to any numerical system, while metric specifically refers to units of measurement.
