You can convert between the units.
A banana and an apple are non-examples of unit rates. In fact, they are non-examples of any kind of rates.
In SI units, use centimeters or meters. In non-SI units, use inches or feet.
'Square feet' is a plural term for square foot. A square foot is unit of measurement. It used to measure areas. It is a non-SI (System De Interantionale) and a non-metric unit. It is known as United States customary unit or Imperial unit. A square foot is an area covered by a square.You use square feet for units when you calculate area.
One advantage of non-standard units is that people who are familiar with that unit may be better able to undertand it. If I said someone was as tall as my shoulder, then anyone who knew me would know what I meant - and would be able to visualise the other person's height. However, that statement is totally useless to you since you don't know how tall I am. If, on the other hand, I said that someone was 160 centimetres tall almost anyone (except maybe in the US) would know what that meant. And even if they did not, they could get a measuring tape, in cm, and figure out what that meant.
standard. Because i can feel it.

Your (hand-)span, 5-minutes' walk are other examples. You, and some of your friends might know what that means but other will not. Sometime the context changes a standard unit into a non-standard unit. If my son tells me he'll do something in a second, I do not expect a response in 1/3600 hour!
Your span.

A geiger counter is a measuring instrument, not a measure.
A standard form of measurement is one where there is widespread agreement as to its value. A non-standard measurement is one which makes sense to only a small number of people. For example, "as big as my garden" will only make sense to people who know me (or can Google my address).
Actually, about 3 countries use non-standard measurements - the SI is the international standard.
Yes you could. Look at metric and imperial measurement units, consider Roman units and the unit used by the Chinese empire as alternative units of measurement.
A non-standard unit of measurement is a way of reporting measurements in terms of units whose value only a few people may know. Many of the early, non-standard units of measurement, which were based on the human body, were like that. Everybody does not have the same span so saying that a table is 12 spans long is not particularly helpful. Some of these were ;ater standardised: palm = 3 inches, hand = 4 inches (10.16 cm) and so on.
The reciprocal of capacitance is called electrical elastance, the (non-standard, non-SI) unit of which is the daraf.
A non standard measurement is one in which the units are not normally used. This would be like saying something is four palms long, a palm equaling three inches.
