All SI units have a base unit: metric unit abbreviation meter liter gram degree Celsius second m L g oC s

SI units may have a prefix: prefix : represents: abbreviation: kilo- 1,000 hecto- 100 deca- 10 deci- 1/10 centi- 1/100 milli- 1/1000 k h da d c m

The metric system is a system of measurement based on the number 10. Scientists use a version of the metric system called the International System of Units (SI units), which are a set of standard units that are universal. measurement unit length mm, cm, m, km liquid volume mL, L volume (LXWXH) mm3 or cm3 mass mg, g, kg density g mL g cm OR 3
