What are three metric unit used to measure mass and how is each unit used?
The three metric units used to measure mass are grams, kilograms, and metric tons. Grams are the smallest unit and are typically used to measure the mass of small objects or substances. Kilograms are commonly used to measure the mass of everyday objects, people, or animals. Metric tons are used to measure the mass of larger objects or quantities, such as vehicles, cargo, or industrial materials.
Is volts metric?
There are seven metric base units (m, kg, s, A, K, cd, mol). Each of these base units represents, at least in principle, different kinds of physical quantities. From these seven base units, several other units are derived. In addition to the SI units, there is also a set of non-SI units accepted for use with SI which includes some commonly used units such as the volts(that are metric but not a base unit).So volts can be also written as: m2·kg·s−3·A−1 but for easier usage V is used instead.
What is the 3 basic units of the metric system and what each type measures?
The metric, or SI, system has seven base units from which all other units are derived. They are; metre, distance. second, time. kilogram, mass. ampere, electrical current. kelvin, temperature. candela, luminous intensity. mole, amount of substance.
What would be a reasonable metric unit to use to measure the length of a bacterium?
meters There is no special unit for the size of bacteria, so traditional systems of length are used. As most people who care about bacteria enough to measure them are scientists, and most scientists use metric (the better to understand each other), the metric system is used. Now, the basic unit of length in the metric system is a meter, but that is much to big to measure a bacterium with. Conveniently, metric units come with a series of prefixes to express multiples or fraction of a unit (you may know of centimeters, which are hundredths of a meter, and kilometers, which are a thousand meters) In general, bacteria will be measured in micrometers, which is to say millionths of a meter. In general, a bacterium will measure anywhere from one to ten nanometers.

4 base units each 1 meter in lenght

Why did imperial units become metric units?
They didn't. Metric Units were developed independently of Imperial units. Originally each country, and sometimes different parts of the same country, had different sets of units. The Metric System was invented to solve the confusion of different units used in different parts of France. Gradually other countries adopted Metric and abolished their own units. The British Imperial units were one of the last to be abolished.
How do you construct a rectangle whose perimeter is 440mm and whose sides are in the ratio of 2 to 3?
A rectangle has four sides, with a 90 degree angle at the corners: making each pair of opposing sides equal in length. The ratio of two to three indicates that one pair of sides is comprised of two units of measure each, and the other pair of sides is comprised of three units of measure each. This equals a total of ten units of measure for the entire perimeter. You then divide the ten units of measure into the total perimeter of 440mm: which equals 44mm per unit of measure. Since one pair of sides is two units of measure, this indicates that the shorter side of the rectangle is 88mm in length. The longer side, of three units of measure, totals 132mm...the rectangle will measure 88mm X 132mm. To check this, add the four sides: 88 + 132 +88 +132=440mm.
What is yards in spanish?

How many liters are in centimeters?
These questions are in different units. Liters are measures of volume in metric. Centimeters are a measure of distance. However, if you make a cube that is 10 cm on each side, it will contain 1000 cm3 which is one liter.

What is the organization structure of Walmart?
Walmart is divided into three U.S. operations, further divided into three regional units. Each of these units has a president.
Can you draw a square with the perimeter of 20 units?
Yes, because each of its 4 sides would measure 5 units in length.
