America unit of measurement is larger than the metric units of measurement.
=====================================
WHAT ? ! ?
1 foot compared to one meter ?
1 poundmass compared to one kilogram ?
1 pint compared to one liter ?
1 acre compared to one hectare ?
Without a doubt.
1. They are internationally agreed as standard. Not like a gallon which can mean one amount in the US and different amount in the UK.
2. Orders of magnitude for measuring the same attribute are related by simple multiples or fractions of powers of ten conversions and only a handful of prefices are required (although there are a lot more). By way of contrast, the Imperial system uses:
- 2 pints in a quart
- 3 feet in a yard
- 4 quarts in a gallon
- 6 feet in a fathom
- 8 furlongs in a mile
- 9 square feet in a square yard
- 12 inches in a foot
- 14 pounds in a stone
- 16 ounces in a pound
3. It is used by most people in the world. The main recalcitrant countries are USA, Liberia and Myanmar. Even in the US, scientists normally use SI. When they don't they have disasters like the one that trashed NASA's Mars Climate Orbiter!
4. There are many simple relations between measures for one characteristic to another. For example, the SI unit of length is 1 metre. 100 square metres = 1 are, the unit for area. 1 cubic metre = 1000 litres, the unit for volume.
The metric system because it is based on the number 10 and that's easier to remember that like 14, and if anyone else asked this question you meant then not that.
No it is not, it is the standard set of units for measurement in the whole world. The US is the only country that uses the imperial system.

Is a teaspoon a standard unit or a metric unit?
A teaspoon is a standard unit of measurement, commonly used in the United States and other countries following the imperial system. It is not a metric unit.
Is kalvin a metric unit?
No, "Kalvin" is not a standard metric unit of measurement. The Kelvin (with an "e") is the unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI).
What is a metric square measure called?
A metric square measure is called a square meter (m²). It is the standard unit of area measurement in the metric system.
The measure of length for the standard system is the foot. For the metric or SI system it is the gram liter mile meter?
The meter is the standard unit of measurement for length in the SI system.
What are the two system of measurement and how do they differ In TLE subject?
The two systems of measurement include the English system which is based on the foot measurements, and the Metric system based on the Meter as the unit of reference.

What is a measurement of weight in the standard measurement system?
the metric system is based on 1 cc of water weighing 1 gram Correction cc is not an acceptable metric symbol; a cubic centimetre is cm3 Nothing can "weigh" 1 gram - it's not a unit of weight though an object may have a mass of 1 g. The question seems to ask for any unit of weight measurement in "the standard measurement system" without defining what is meant. A metric weight unit is the newton, assuming "the standard measurement system" is SI. In the "standard" US measurement system a weight unit is a pound.
What is the standard (or SI) unit of measurement for mass?

What is a standard of measurements?
A standard unit of measurement is the unit (size or quantity) that is agreed upon in that nation or trading partnership. In science the standard units of measurement are called SI units. (An international standard). This is the metric system.
What is a metric square measure called?
A metric square measure is called a square meter (m²). It is the standard unit of area measurement in the metric system.
How do metric system develop?
In the earlier times, there was no unit to measure the distance and thus there was no symmetry. To fight this problem, in 1790, french developed a standard unit of measurement called the metric system.
What is metric unit is?
What metric unit would you use to measure a computer keyboard
The standard unit of length in the metric system is called what?
The standard unit of length in the metric system is called the meter. The standard unit of mass is the kilogram.
The measure of length for the standard system is the foot. For the metric or SI system it is the gram liter mile meter?
The meter is the standard unit of measurement for length in the SI system.

Are bushels metric or English?
Bushels are a unit of measurement in the English system, not the metric system.
