Estimate Length and Weight (Metric) Worksheets
What Are Common Metric Units of Length and Weight? The United States uses both the metric system and U.S customary measurement system in its measurements, especially in medical, industrial, scientific, and technical fields. While in other countries across the world, the metric system is the primary system of measurements. So, if you travel around the globe, you will see many different units used for a particular metric.
