What foods are measured in meters?

Answer 1

Meters are a measure of length. Any food CAN be measured in meters, but most are so short this would be impractical (would you understand someone that said a hot dog was "1/6 meter" or ".166 Meters" long?). A meter is about three feet. Therefore, one of the more common foods that would actually be suited to being measured in meters would be a six-foot sub. Most foods would be measured in centimeters (1 meter = 100 centimeters). Meters are abbreviated "m," while centimeters are abbreviated "cm".

On cm

The metric system uses prefixes like "centi" (100 times less than, abbreviated c) or "kilo" (1,000 times greater than, abbreviated k) and "milli" (1,000 times less than, abbreviated m). 1 in = 2.54 cm, therefore 1 cm is a little less than half an inch. There are also millimeters (abbreviated mm), which are 1/10th of a cm, and kilometers, which are 100 m, or 100,000 cm (about 2/3 of a mile).
