The prefixes for the metric system in order, from left to right, are: kilo-, hecto-, deca-, base unit (gram, liter, meter), deci-, centi-, milli-.

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?
In the metric system, the measurement of length is based on the meter as the fundamental unit. The prefixes such as kilo- (1000), centi- (0.01), and milli- (0.001) are used to denote larger or smaller lengths. This system allows for easy conversion between different units of length.
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?
To convert units using metric prefixes, you can move the decimal point to the right or left based on the conversion factor associated with the prefix. For example, to convert meters to millimeters, you move the decimal point three places to the right since milli- is 10^-3. Conversely, to convert milliliters to liters, you move the decimal point three places to the left since milli- is 10^-3.
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.

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.
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).
How to convert units using metric prefixes?
To convert units using metric prefixes, you can move the decimal point to the right or left based on the conversion factor associated with the prefix. For example, to convert meters to millimeters, you move the decimal point three places to the right since milli- is 10^-3. Conversely, to convert milliliters to liters, you move the decimal point three places to the left since milli- is 10^-3.
Why doesn't the USA use the metric system?
Well USA doesn't use the metric system because of 2 reasons. 1. They are used to using the customary system (but they use the metric system often) Example: A liter of Coca Cola. 2. Money issues. (If USA were to switch to the metric system they would have to use a lot of money to change signs and maybe even instead of putting miles in cars kilometers). By the way I think we are the only country that uses metric system all over the world.(I think some people use it in Canada but I don't know) If interested about more ask more questions and I will try to answer them as soon as possible. EDIT___________________________________________________________EDIT Most countries use the metric system. The USA is one of the few countries that doesn't use it. EDIT___________________________________________________________EDIT Those may be right answers, I don't know much. But, I DO know that we also don't use the metric system. Because, since we hated the British we didn't want to be like them. They use the metric system because it seemed easier, well, 100 cm = 1 m. And 100oC is Boiling point - things like that. Why we hated the British? That's a question for Social Studies! - A 6th grade answer from a 6th grade student! :) EDIT___________________________________________________________EDIT The FRENCH invented the metric system.
