Customary & Metric Units By: KiAndre Oliver, Brandon Bullock, Jasmyn Bednar, and Kolton Brown

Customary & Metric Units Customary inch (in) foot (ft) yard (yd) mile (mi) ounce (oz) pound (lb) fluid ounce (fl. oz) cup (c) pint (pt) quart (qt) gallon (gal) Metric kilometer (km) meter (m) centimeter (cm) kilogram (kg) gram (g) liter (L) millilititer (mL)

Customary System The countries that use the customary system are Liberia, Myanmar, and the U.S.A. The U.S. Uses the Customary system because when America was colonized the system being used was the Imperial system (customary), and when it gained it's independence the metric system was introduced the U.S. decided to keep the system the same. The Customary system is a system that deals with measurement that is based in 4s.

Real World Examples Inch: An eraser cap is about an inch long. Foot: A clipboard is around a foot tall. Yard: Ms. Holder's ECU wreath is about a yard long. Acre: Farmland would be measured with this unit. Mile: The Grand Canyon is about a mile deep. Nautical Mile: You would measure oceans in this form of measurement. Let's say you're on a boat going 1 knot an hour. This would be equal to 1 nautical mile and not a land mile because a land mile is 1,600 meters and a nautical mile is 1,842 meters. Ounce: One slice a bread is about one ounce. Pound: A whole loaf of bread is a pound Ton: A Hippopotamus weighs around 1 ton. Teaspoon: A sundae spoon holds about one teaspoon of water. Tablespoon: A soup spoon holds about one tablespoon of water. Fluid Ounce: A measuring cup of ½ tablespoon is 1 fluid ounce. Cup: A teacup holds 1 cup of liquid. Pint: A large coffee mug is roughly 1 pint. Quart: A container that holds juice holds 1 quart. Half Gallon: A half gallon milk jug is a half gallon. Gallon: A milk jug holds about 1 gallon of milk.

Metric System With the exception of Liberia, Myanmar, and the United States of America all other countries use the metric system. They use the metric system because it's easier for trading and using in general. Let's say England wanted to trade goods with France. So they wouldn't have to keep changing the measurements from one countries to another they could use just one very simple measurement system. The metric system is a system that unlike the customary system is easier to deal with as it measures based on tens.

Real world Examples Kilogram: A small melon weighs one kilogram. Metric ton: A juvenile elephant would weigh about one metric ton Milliliter: An eyedropper would be measured with this form of capacity. Liter: A reusable water bottle holds about one liter. Millimeter: A needle is as thick as 1 millimeter. Centimeter: One of the little one hundredths cubes Ms. Holder has is as long as one centimeter. Meter: Two desks put together is roughly one meter in length. Hectare: It's kind of like the metric acre. Kilometer: 6 blocks in the city is one kilometer. Milligram: A grain of sand weighs about one milligram. Gram: A cherry tomato weighs 1 gram.
