SI
RELATES IN 10
The System of International Measurement called "SI"
is the metric measurement used in America.
An international system of measurement evolved that was
assisted in it's development as a result of
for-sighted
American Fathers like Thomas Jefferson who gave us an American dollar with 100
cents and Dr Benjamin Franklin
who, along with other devoted attendees of the Academy of Sciences
in Paris, contributed significantly to the simple design of measuring in
metric dimensions today.
This System of International Units called "SI"
is the metric measurement used in America.
Unlike
"inch-pound" measurement, metric measurement is all simply
related in 10... just like an American dollar.

HERE'S
HOW IT WORKS!
Simply
divide 1 m
(meter)
in exactly 10 equal parts,
each of which measures
10 cm (centimeters).
Then make a cube container that is
10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm
(1000 cm³)
that we can fill with water.

|
And
like magic, when you
fill this cube container with water, it has the
volume of
exactly
1 L
(liter)
