A measurement can be expressed using a numerical value and a unit of measurement, which together provide a quantifiable description of a physical quantity. For example, length can be expressed as "5 meters" or "3 inches." Additionally, measurements can be represented in various formats, such as fractions or scientific notation, depending on the context and precision required. They may also include significant figures to indicate the accuracy of the measurement.
Volume
It is simply the first measurement divided by the second, expressed with their measurement units as a ratio.
Here are some international units of measurement:Mass is expressed in kilograms.Length and distance is expressed in meters.Time is expressed in seconds.Electrical current is expressed in amperes.Speed is expressed in meters/second.
A mass measurement expressed as 4.6 g ± 0.2 g indicates that the measured mass is 4.6 grams, with an uncertainty of 0.2 grams. This means the true mass could range from 4.4 grams to 4.8 grams. The "± 0.2 g" reflects the precision of the measurement, highlighting the potential variation due to factors like instrument limitations or measurement techniques.

The unit of measurement for concentration when expressed as "mu/l" is microliters per liter.
The unit of measurement for concentration when expressed as "u/ml" is microunits per milliliter.
Measurements of volume are expressed in meters cubed

The unit of measurement to measure the thickness of a DVD is typically expressed in millimeters.
Velocity
It is simply the first measurement divided by the second, expressed with their measurement units as a ratio.
The measurement of water hardness is typically expressed in grains per gallon.
