Metric

The United States is the only industrialized nation not to adopt the metric system, as its primary measuring system.

Weight
mg, g, kg

comparing your weight in the metric system is a lot easier than using the standard system.

a person weighs 100kg 100000g 100000000mg

metric system deals with power of ten

a person weghs 100lbs 16000 ozs

standard system uses randon conversion numbers that make little sense.

Remember when finding the volume of someething your answer is always cubed. Example. cm^3

ml, L, Kl
distance
mm, cm, m, km

Distance is closely related to time. How fast does a car go?

Miles / hour.

distanc/rate=time

Rate

Rate = distance x time

Rate = How fast the object is moving.

Distance = How far away something is or how far you have traveled.

Time = How long it took you.

Time

Time is always measured the same while using the metric and standard systems. Ex. seconds, minutes, hours, days

Standard (American System)

weight
oz, lbs, tons
Volume
cups, pints, quarts, gallons
Distance
in, ft, yds, miles
