Millimeter= 1/10 of a centimeter
Centimeter= 1/10 of a decimeter
Decimeter= 10 centimeters
Meter= 100 centimeters
Kilometer= 1000 meters
A meter is just more than a yard.
A kilometer is just over a mile.
A decimeter is 3 and 15/16 of an inch.
A centimeter is 3/8 of an inch.
A millimeter is tiny.
10 millimeters= 1 centimeter
10 centimeters= 1 decimeter
10 decimeters= 1 meter
100 meters= 1 kilometer
The metric system goes by tens basically. !

How do you Weigh a person in kilograms?
Use a metric scale.
What scale do they use in the metric system to measure temperature?
Celsius.
What metric unit of weight would you use to measure a 2 lb box?
A scale
What is the basic metric unit for the balance scale?
It depends on the scale. For a scale in a chemistry lab probably a gram. For old fashioned stores: a kilogram. Precision scales could be a milligram.There is no real "basic" metric unit for a balance scale. The counterweights you use are determined by the item you are measuring.
What do you do to measure weight?
There is only one metric system. The units used for your weight would be Newtons.
Why is the Celsius temperature scale NOT a metric measurement?
The Celsius temperature scale is NOT a metric measurement, because degrees Celsius is parallel measurement of Kelvin, and Kelvin is not a metric measurement.
What is the metric temperature scale called?
The metric temperature scale is called the Celsius scale. The scale divides the range of temperatures between freezing and boiling at standard atmospheric condition into 100 equal parts.
What does metric temperature mean?
It means in Centigrade or Celsius temperature metric scale
What metric measures temperature?
The basic unit is a Kelvin but it is common to use a degree Celsius. The Kelvin scale is absolute whereas the zero point on the Celsius scale is arbitrary.
What is the metric unit of a scale?
cm and meters
What do centimeters represent?
Centimeters, from the metric scale.
What metric unit can you use to find the weight of a pumpkin?
No metric unit will find the weight of the pumpkin for you. For that, you'll need some kind of a scale. However, once you've found the weight, you'll use a unit of force to describe it. The metric unit of force is the Newton. (NOT the kilogram.)
