Question
which units measure the same basic quantities? *
miles and liters
gallons and kilograms
ounces and centimeters
meters and feet
what is the system by which we can convert between metric and customary units?
none, its different for every unit.
base 10
base 6
a mix of multiplication and division.
how do metric measurements differ from customary measurements? *
metric measurements are larger than customary measurements.
metric measurements are based on powers of 10; customary measurements are not.
metric measurements are divided into fractions; customary measurements are divided into decimals.
- Miles and feet are both units of length, while liters measure volume, gallons measure volume, kilograms measure mass, ounces can measure mass or volume, and centimeters measure length. So meters and feet measure the same basic quantity (length).
- There is no single - base system for converting between metric and customary units. Each unit has its own conversion factor, which may involve multiplication or division.
- The metric system is based on powers of 10 (e.g., 1 kilometer = 1000 meters, 1 meter = 100 centimeters), while the customary system is not.
