Q. What is the metric system?
A. The metric system is a decimal-based system of measurementunits. Units for a given quantity, such as length or mass, arerelated by factors of 10. Calculations involve the simple processof moving the decimal point to the right or to the left. This modemsystem is called Le Système Internationald'Unites or the International System of Units,abbreviated SI.
Q. Is the metric system hard to learn and use?
A. No. In everyday usage, the most common metric units arethe meter (m) to measure length,the second (s) to measure time,the kilogram (kg) for mass (or weight*),the liter (L) for volume, andthe degree Celsius (°C) for temperature. Themetric system avoids confusing dual-use of terms, such as theinch-pound system's use of ounces to measure both weight andvolume. The metric system also avoids the use of multiple units forthe same quantity; for instance, the inch-pound system's multipleunits for volume include teaspoons, tablespoons, fluid ounces,cups, pints, quarts, and gallons.
