Time: second (s)

Length: metre (m) (US spelling: meter)

Mass: kilogram (kg)

Temperature: degrees Celsius (°C)

Electrical current: ampere (A)

Volume: litre (L)

Note: The kelvin (K) is technically the base unit of temperature and has the same magnitude as degrees Celsius, but °C is more commonly used. The conversion factor is: 0 °C = 273.15 K

Note 2: The litre is a technically a derived unit, but is very common. It is defined based on the volume of a cube with 10 cm sides. It is equal to 1000 cm³ (cubic centimetres), or 0.001 m³ (cubic metres)

Another example of a metric system would be the Arabic metric System, Roman Numbers because these numerals use different characters for their numbers and letters etc.

Centimetre - CM - 1/100th of a Metre

Metre - M - 1/1000th of a Kilometre - 100 CM

Kilometre - KM - 1000 M - 60% of a mile
