In Science Class we use the metric units because it's easier to identify and simplify than the english units. A dice, is 16 mm. Which means it's much smaller than a pencil, which is 14 cm, because centimeters are .01, and mm are .001. On the other hand, the front of my house is 10 feets long, using the english units, but if metric units are used, it would be
0.003048 in km.
Rather than measuring things in metric, I wanted you to find things in the house that are already in metric and have it written on them! 2/3
