metric system has been extended to incorporate many more units. Although a number of variants of the metric system emerged i

e nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the term is now often used as a synonym for "SI"[Note 1]or the "International System of

ts"the officialsystem of measurement in almost every country in the world.

The Metric system of measurement was created about two hundred years ago by a group of French

scientists to simplify measurement.

the metric system, each of the common kinds of measure -- length, weight, capacity -- has one basic unit of measure. To measure s

mounts, divide the basic unit into parts of ten, a hundred, or a thousand, and so on. To measure larger amounts, multiply the basic

ten, a hundred, or a thousand, and so on.

Length:

1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m)

1 centimeter (cm) = .01 meter (m)

1 millimeter (mm) = .001 meter (m)

Capacity:

1 milliliter = .001 liter (l)

Weight:

1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g)

1 milligram (mg) = .001 gram (g)

Kilo means thousand (1000)

Hecto means hundred (100)

Deca means ten (10)

Deci means one-tenth (1/10)

Centi means one-hundredth (1/100)

Milli means one-thousandth (1/1000)
