If a roll of cloth is 15 meters long 3 quarters is used how much is left?
3/4 times 15 = 11.25 meters used out of 15 meters, leaving 3.75 meters
Which would you measure using meters?
Personally nothing as I would use imperial measures, but meters are used to measure any linear length, eg the length of a table, the width of a table, the distance around a running track, etc.meters can be used to measure smaller things, eg the length of a pencil, but this would be a fraction of a meter and centimeters (hundredths of meters) would be used instead to keep the numbers simple.Similarly, longer distances, like 1500 meters or 10,000 meters (distances run in athletic competitions), could be measured, but to make the numbers simpler, kilometers (1000 meters) would be used.Once astronomical distances are reached, meters or kilometers could be used, but light years are used instead to keep the numbers simpler. A light year is the distance that light travels in 1 year which is approx 9.46 × 1015 meters (another length measured in meters!)
What are two rules used for measuring short lengths?
meters and grams
What comes after meters?
After meters in the metric system, the next largest unit of measurement is kilometers. One kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. Kilometers are commonly used to measure longer distances, such as the distance between cities or countries.
What is the best unit for measuring the length of a river?
kilometers
