What is metric measurment?
metric measurement is the system based on multiplies of 10. ie. there are 10 millimetres in a centimetre, 100 centimetres in a meter, 1000 metres in a kilometre. Similarly for other measurements such as the Litre, or the kilogram.
Are SI and the metric system the same thing?
This is one question where no clear "yes" or "no" can be given. Metric system is a general term for several systems of units. SI is one of them, based (among other units) on meter, kilogram, second. It is in the subcategory of MKS (thus called for those three base units). Older systems (also labelled "metric systems) were often CGS, in other words, the base units included centimeter, gram, and second.
How manycountries have not officially adopted the metric system as their system of measurement?
Three: Liberia, Myanmar, and the USA.
What are the three main units of measurement for the metric system?
Meters, liters, kilograms.
The three base units in the metric system are?
-- Meter -- Kilogram -- Second -- Coulomb

How do you use the word metric in a sentence?
We learned the metric system in math today.

What are three measurements that are not in the metric system?
Inches, feet, and pounds
What are the quantities in the metric system?
The units are: -- Kilogram -- Meter -- Second. All of the other units in the metric system are fractions, multiples, or combinations of these three.
What are some reason that the si system uses metric uinits and not the English system?
Only three countries still cling to the "English" system, whereas the whole world uses metric. The SI units were established in 1960 as part of a review of the metric system used at the time; it uses metric units because it is the current version of the metric system.
What are the three countries that do not use the metic system?
As of 2016, the only countries that do not use the metric system are the US, Burma and Liberia. All other countries use the metric system.
What are the three basic units in the metric system?
meter, second, kilogram
