Kiloyard Yard Centiyard Milliyard
Easy fixed US Customary
No one would know 3 ceniyards would be equal to about an inch.
But see that’s one of the main problems. US goes yard-feet-inch-fraction of inch. And Meteric goes meter-centimeter-millimeter. The feet-inch type measurement disappears and those are the most common for people in everyday life.
~3 decimeters in a foot.
I feel like if the meteric system used decimeters more it would have caught on.
My door frame needs to be 36 inches or 3 ft wide. ×3 = 9 Decimeters.
But if I give a measurement in decimeters to a person that uses metric it’s like I’m using some kind of forbidden unit.
I feel like metric people just use Meter, Centimeter, and Millimeter the same way and wouldn’t change the decimal. They know how big the three are just like US people know Yard, Foot, Inch.
That string is about 10 centimeters long. Not many would describe it as .1 meter. It’s about 4 inches or 1/3 of a foot.
Metric ton is a megagram. A US ton is .907 megagrams. UK ton is 1.016 megagrams
