What are three metric unit used to measure mass and how is each unit used?
The nice thing about the metric system is that there aren't three units of mass, just the one : the kilogram You can measure larger or smaller masses by changing the prefix - centigram, megagram (more commonly called the Tonne), yottagramme, zeptogram, etc.
What is a metric time system?
Metric time is the measure of time interval using the metric system, which defines the second as the base unit of time, and multiple and submultiple units formed with metric prefixes, such as kiloseconds and milliseconds.
What are the three units that are used to measure temperature?
they are Celsius Fahrenheit Kelvin
What are the 4 metric base units and what characteristic do they measure?
Meter (m) - measures length or distance. Kilogram (kg) - measures mass. Second (s) - measures time. Ampere (A) - measures electric current.
A type of ruler that is divided into centimeters with each centimeter divided into millimeters?
A metric ruler is divided into centimeters, with each centimeter further divided into 10 smaller units called millimeters. This allows for precise measurements in the metric system.

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 are the metric units in order from smallest to largest?
The metric units in order from smallest to largest are millimeter (mm), centimeter (cm), meter (m), and kilometer (km). These units are used to measure length, with each unit being a factor of ten larger than the previous one. For example, 1 centimeter equals 10 millimeters, and 1 meter equals 100 centimeters.
What is yards in spanish?
"Jardines" (Garden) (Yard of a house) "Patios" (Yard of a house) "Yardas" (Units of measure three feet long each)

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.
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 number is the metric system based on?
The metric system is based on the number 10. This means that all units in the metric system are related to each other by powers of 10, making it easy to convert between different units.
