What are the 4 metric units we use everyday and what does each one measure?

Answer 1

we use metric units to measure time as in hrs. min. and sec. as well as days, months, years etc.
Also we use metrics when dealing with money as in dlls, cents etc. 100 cents=1 dollar.
Also many medications dosage's are indicated in milligrams when they indicate how much of the active ingredient it contains or how much to take, they use grams and milligrams.
Another thing that uses metric is the calories count, as in how many calories food servings contain.
Also electricity is measured in metric (watts) as in kilowatts also wave lengths as in radio frequencies.
That's all I can think of for now.

Answer 2

That's a tough question to pin down just four units we use every day. Here are a few that I would consider to be very common. As far as base units go (out of the seven):
- metres
- kilograms
- seconds
- amperes
As far as derived units:
- degrees Celsius
- hertz (every radio station identifies themselves this way)
- watts
- volts
- litres
- pascal (I hear it every day in the weather how many kilopascals the barometric pressure is)



The other three base units are kelvins, moles, and candelas. They're not so common in day to day use, although the degree Celsius is based directly from the kelvin.

Answer 3

in the US we don't use metrics except in fields of science and math. I don't use metrics at all.

Answer 4

Ah, Sunday, when the kids begin to panic because they didn't do their homework.
