How to explain obscurely-worded questions?
Look on the label: it will give either volume or weight in either Imperial or metric units, so to convert find the relevant formula.
To share the contents in 3 equal parts, use either a balance or a measuring-jug, but to be honest it will be just as accurate to count spoonfuls or depths in similar dishes!
NB: don't try to mix units of mass with those of volume: that won't work!

What is metric measurment?
metric measurement is the system based on multiplies of 10. ie. there are 10 millimetres in a centimetre, 100 centimetres in a meter, 1000 metres in a kilometre. Similarly for other measurements such as the Litre, or the kilogram.
What are the three types of measurements?
Meter Volume Weight ====================== Mass Length Time Electric charge All other measurements are combinations of these.
Why is the metric system preferred over the English system for scientific measurements?
Because the metric system bases all of its units of measurements on powers of ten, it is much easier to perform mathematical calculations with the metric system than with the English system, which uses a variety of seemingly random ratios of one unit to the next. A mile is equal to 5,280 feet. A yard is three feet, a foot is twelve inches. And so forth. It makes for needlessly complicated calculations.
What is the two letter abbreviation for the metric system?
I think you are referring to SI, the international standard of measurement units agreed upon by the international scientific community. SI does not stand for the metric system per se, but it is not surprising that all of the SI units are metric since the world's preference for the metric system is almost universal. Currently there are only three countries in which the metric system is not the standard system of measurements.
An instrument used to measure length width and height?
A ruler is an example of an instrument that can be used to measure relatively small linear distances, though it could not measure all three at once.
What are three measurements that are not in the metric system?
Inches, feet, and pounds
What are three commonly used items that have metric measurements instead of English?
It is meter,liter,gram

What cocktails can be made using a cocktail machine?
You can make any type of cocktail with these machines. Cocktail machines usually come in single, double and triple bowl varieties. So it is possible to have three different flavours on one machine. Flavours are usually a fruit mix, that can be mixed with alcohol as well.

Yuri measures the height of the water in an aquarium in one metric unit. He then moves the decimal point three units to the left. Which pair of measurements might he be converting?
From metres to millimetres.

What three measurements are bigger than a kilometer?
there are many units for measurements .three measurements are bigger than a kilometer are miles , light years and megameters .
Do Australians go by meters or feet?
Australia uses the modern metric system, therefore metres. Only three countries on the planet use the complicated, outdated imperial measurements. They are the US, Liberia and Myanmar.
Where are three places one would encounter metric measurements of length volume or mass?
Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain. Take your pick. Generally most of Europe.
