What are all of the proper units of mass in the metric system?
in the mks (SI) metric, the base unit is kilogram. in the cgs metric system, the base unit is gram. There are many prefixes that can be added to gram to determine the magnitude in power of ten. See related link for a list of prefixes. Right, and don't forget the tonne. Though equivalent to 1 megagram or 1000 kg the word tonne is commonly used.
What is the meaning of measuement of length in metric system?
Length is one of the basic familiar dimensions - 'how far to the store?', etc. The unit of length in the SI (metric) system is the metre, nowadays defined by the wavelength of certain atomic transitions. With the concept of length we may compare the size of different things. Ranging from the microscopic right up to the interstellar.
When using the metric system conversions which require division can be made by moving the decimal to the?
When using the metric system, conversions that require division can be made by moving the decimal to the left. This is because the metric system is based on powers of 10, making it easy to convert between different units by moving the decimal point.
How to convert units using metric prefixes?
SI prefixes, also known as a metric prefixes, are names or associated symbols that precedes a unit of measure or its symbol to form decimal multiples or submultiples. SI prefixes are used to reduce the quantity of zeroes in numerical equivalencies. For measuring length (meter), volume (liter), or mass (gram) prefixes are all the same.

Why does the decimal moves when you are converting in the metric system?
Because conversion in the decimal system is based on multiplication (or division) by powers of ten. Each multiplication by ten is equivalent to moving the decimal point one place to the right.
Write the prefixes for the metric system in order left to right?
The common ones are:Kilo Hecto Deca Unit (Meter, gram, Liter) Deci Centi millik h da M g L d c m

Does Mexico use Celsius?
Right. Mexico uses the decimal system (meters, liters, Celsius).
When converting a kilogram to a gram how many places to the right would you move the decimal?
In the metric system the prefixes denote a numerical value: Kilo- is one thousand Since a kilogram is one thousand times bigger than a gram, just move your decimal place to the right three places
To convert measurements in the metric syste you can move the decimal point left or right. Why does this work?
This is because the metric system and our number system are both based on powers of ten.
Was it right to sign the treaty of the meter and then not switch to the metric system?
No:( The metric system is much simpler in my opinion and is used by the rest of the world. I guess this is what makes the USA unique though.

What number system in the metric system based on?
10. I think. If this is a homework question, don't put this as your answer. I'm pretty sure this is right though.

Why the metric system called a decimal system of measurement?
A decimal number is a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. Measurement units in the metric system are related to one another by multiples of powers of ten (or 1000).
