β 12y agoThe fundamental unit that is the same in both the metric system and English system is the unit of mass, which is the pound (lb) in the English system and the kilogram (kg) in the metric system.
Temperature, measured in degrees Celsius in the metric system and degrees Fahrenheit in the English system, is the only measure where the units are the same in both systems.
The metric 'kilometer' is typically used to express the length of the same category of measurements as the English 'mile'. But it's a stretch to say that they are "about the same". One kilometer is almost 38% shorter than a mile.
The kelvin. a change of one (degree) kelvin is the same as a change of one degree Celsius (one hundredth of the difference between the freezing and boiling points of water at Standard pressure.
In the metric system, time is typically expressed in hours and minutes like in the standard system. So, 24 hours remains 24 hours in the metric system with no conversion necessary.
The metric system is commonly used in science, medicine, and internationally for measurements such as distance (meters), weight (grams), and volume (liters). The English system is typically used in the United States for everyday measurements such as miles for distance, pounds for weight, and ounces for cooking. Both systems have different units for measuring the same quantities.

The English system is measured in units of yards. Meter unit length in the metric system.
The whole point of the metric system is that it is a universal system, so that one metre in one country is the same as one metre in every other country. The metric system is the same everywhere.

In the US metric system, a kilometer is equivalent to 0.6214 miles.
Probably the same as the metric system everywhere else.
The word metric is said the same in Latin as it is in English. In Italian it is said as the word metriico.

To use the same common system all over the world.
