"How long is a piece of string!" is another way of saying measurements can't be accurate unless standard weights and measures are universally accepted and used.
because we use the old ways to count things.
Standard units are used for measurmen as there is a system called the SI units and that is considered as the international system of units that is why we use standard units for measurment .
As I remember from grade school back in the 1960's I believe it was called: "Units and Standards" We refer to the U.S. measurement system today as the "Standard Measurement," "US Standard," "English Units," "US Customary Units," and "Imperial Units."
it is in metre
To explain WHY that statement is true would be almost impossible, because thestatement is false.Measurements are meaningless if standard units are NOT used. They are meaningfulONLY if standard units ARE used. The reason is that in order for your measurementsto mean anything to someone else, he has to know and understand the units of yourmeasurement. It doesn't tell you a thing to know that I'm 2,645.02 time-units old,254 length-units tall, and weigh 6.318 weight-units. You need definitions of thoseunits before you know anything about me.
the si system of measurement is the standard set of units accepted throughout the world.
Standard measurement, or "English measurement".
Yes you could. Look at metric and imperial measurement units, consider Roman units and the unit used by the Chinese empire as alternative units of measurement.
measurement value (magnitude of the quantity) and a proper unit.
SI units are used fundamentally.SI unit is used by everyone. Hence, it is a standard unit for measurement.
There are several standard metric units, for measuring different things.There are several standard metric units, for measuring different things.There are several standard metric units, for measuring different things.There are several standard metric units, for measuring different things.
A non standard measurement is one in which the units are not normally used. This would be like saying something is four palms long, a palm equaling three inches.
