They don't. A lot of measurements of length only end in metre and with good reason. Examples of length that dont are the foot, the yard, mile.
The metre is adopted as the SI unit for length. If you see metre and it has a prefix, the prefix is telling you how many metres. i.e. kilo is 1000, decimeter is 1/10, centi is 1/100, milli is 1/1000 for example

What must all measurements have?
its unit. what your measuring it in. ex: inch, cm, meter
What are the 3 kinds of system of measurements?
meter,feet and inch
Which unit is bigger in measurements the decimeter or meters?
A meter is longer than a decimeter. There are 10 decimeters in 1 meter.
What is longer 1 sq meter or 1 meter?
The perimeter of 1 sq meter is 4 meters, which is 4 times the length of 1 meter. However, squared lengths (sq meter, sq foot) are not measurements of length, they are measurements of area. The shortest distance to cross 1 sq meter is the same as 1 meter, and the shortest distance to cover 1 sq meter is the length it takes to displace the perimeter.
What one word can you make from the words Man uses meter?
measurements
How is 1L of volume and 1kg of mass related to the meter?
They are all Metric measurements.

True or false the meter and gram are examples of measurements in SI?
The meter and gram are measurements in the SI, or the metric systems. These measurements are comparable to a foot and an ounce.
What can you measure length in?
In the SAE, Imperial and US Customary systems, we normally use inches, feet, yards and miles. In the metric system, used in all scientific measurements, we use various degrees of the meter, including the millimeter, centimeter and meter for larger measurements and divisions such as the nanometer (one billionth of a meter) for microscopic measurements. For atomic and molecular sized measurements, we use angstrom units (one ten billionth of a meter).
What are the three types of measurements?
Meter Volume Weight ====================== Mass Length Time Electric charge All other measurements are combinations of these.
How many mini meter in a centermeter?
There's no such measurements as mini meter and centermeter.
How can you measure the length of a one meter ruler?
You get a ruler. It doesn't matter how long the ruler is. You just keep going along the length of the metre stick and you should end up with the measurements at the end.
In measuring height which is more accurate to use the meter stick or the tape measure?
Used correctly, they can be equally accurate. Each may be better in a particular circumstance. The error in a series of measurements increases the more measurements need to be taken. So, for instance, in order to measure a 100 meter tall building with a meter stick 100 measurements must be taken. With a 50 meter measure only two measurements are taken. If the margin of error in all measurements are equal, the error using the meter stick will be about 7 times more than the error using the measure. (Why 50 times as many measurements gives only 7 times the error is the subject of another answer.) On the other hand, when measuring the overall length of an irregular object it is useful to have a rigid meterstick in order to avoid the tendency to follow the object's contour. It is best, as always, to use the right tool for the job.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using meter stick?
Advantage : Using a meter stick helps us to make measurements straight and to get the accurate measurements. It can be used for measurement of greater objects. Disadvantage : Meter stick cannot properly read measurements of small distances and objects having dimension of 0.053 cm

Why is it better to align the meterstick with edge of the object at the 1 cm mark rather than at the end of the stick?
meter sticks give precise measurements and in order to get the full precise answer you should start where the numbers start at on the meter stick.
