What four ways do you use metric units in your everyday life?

Answer 1

Depends where you live. If your in the US your probably stuck with a load of pounds, gallons, miles and Fahrenheits, if your in the UK maybe you use liters, grams and Celsius, but maybe not, but almost certainly talking in miles for distance. If your elsewhere a good chance your on liters, grammes, meters and Celsius.

Answer 2

check any medicine bottle. any thing to do with health...take a baby aspirin. It's 81 mg.

buy a 2 Liter bottle of coke

Look at knitting needles and booklets. Some of them are all in metric and I have to use it.

Travel to Europe, Canada...the road distances, are in km. the speeds are km/h, and when i had to but food I had to order a kilo of ham, or a mezza-kilo. After dinner Drinks were ordered om deciliters or centiliters.

In the long run, metrics is a lot easier to use than our system. it just seems harder because we don't use it every day.

Answer 4

I use them all the time, as do over 80% of the people on this planet.

I use them for distances and speeds. I use them to buy milk and gasoline. I use them to buy meat and vegetables. I use them when measuring distances between rows in my garden.

I also use them in astronomy and in sciences (in general) as do well nigh 99% of scientists on this planet.
