If using different units of measure in mathematical calculations, you will probably come up with an answer you didn't expect. Different units do not add up. You can not add inches to meters and get something in units of inches or meters. If you want to add quantities together, you need to convert them to the same units. When multiplying or dividing; however, you can do so with different units. For instance, you can multiply newtons (force) by meters (length) and get "newton meters" which is a unit of torque. When doing so just with units of measure, you'd come up with something you might not be able to use very easily. Multiplying a length in feet by a width in meters would yield an area in "foot meters", and I doubt you'd ever use that type of unit.

I would like to know what kind of distance does the calculator measure?
The distance calculator works by using the Global Positioning System to calculate the distance between two positions on the earth. The calculator can measure in yards but there are different calculators and calculators with different settings that have different measuring units.
What scientific units and what tool would you use to measure mass?
gram
Is the mass of an object different if it is measured in us units and metric units?
The mass would not change, only the numbers describing the amount of mass would change.
What do you use to measure width?
It depends on what you are measuring the width of. Different units and different tools would be appropriate for a hair, a car or a galaxy.
What would you measure of unit would you measure a thickness a?
What measure of units would you use to measure the thickness of a phone book
What units would you measure mass with?
Kilograms.
What does a baker measure What units do you use?
The answer depends on the context. There are different things which are measured using different units. For example, flour is measured according to its mass, eggs would be measured in numbers, water, milk or oil by volume. The baker would also need to measure the proving and cooking times and the temperature of the oven.
Should all our length be measured to the same decimal point?
No. You would use different units of measurement. You would measure the size (circumference) of your waist (for trousers) in centimetres. You would not measure the distance to the moon in centimetres!
What unit of measurement would you use to measure temperature?
There are three different units of measure for temperature, degrees Fahrenheit, degrees Celsius, or Kelvins. (Degrees are not used with Kelvins.)
what units of measure would be most suitable for recording the length of a room?
I would measure it in maters
What units would you measure the weight of a pencil in?
The units grams would be a good choice.
What surface area equal to its volume?
No solid figure has a surface area equal to its volume. That would not be possible as the units of measure are different.
What would you measure in square units?
Surface area
In what units would you measure the size of a house?
Yes
