What is the Metric System? The metric system is a system of measurement which was developed over many years, and traces its origin to a 1585 book entitled "The Tenth", by Simon Stevin, who suggested that a decimal system be used for weights and measures.

The Metric System Metric System is a common language of measurement in science used all over the world.

The Metric System The US Congress amended the Metric Conversion Act of 1975 and designated the metric system as the preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce.

The Metric System Today, some business and technology companies in the USA use the metric system, and many products specify both. But most people have decided that the inconvenience of switching outweighs the benefits.

The Metric System Map of Nations that don't use The Metric System All countries colored in red choose not to use the metric system as their system of weights and measurements. Myanmar (Burma) Liberia The United States

The Metric System The Metric System is … - based on 10 - based on only three units of measure: the meter, liter, and gram

The Metric System Meter-distance (instead of inch, foot, yard, or mile) Liter-volume—liquids (instead of ounce, cup, pint, quart, & gallon) Gram-mass (“weight”) (instead of ounces, pounds, and tons)

The Metric System The same prefixes are used to convert meters, liters, and grams to smaller and smaller units. milli- 1/1000 or.001 centi- 1/100 or.01 kilo- 1,000 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 meter = 1000 millimeters 1 kilometer= 1000 meters
