In the Metric System (SI), what is the basic unit of measurement & abbreviation for the following:
Distance (length):
Liquid Volume:
Mass (weight):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer and explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basic Units of Measurement in the Metric System (SI):<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Distance (Length)<\/strong> \u2013 Meter (m)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Liquid Volume<\/strong> \u2013 Liter (L)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Mass (Weight)<\/strong> \u2013 Gram (g)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Explanation:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The metric system<\/strong>, also known as the International System of Units (SI), is a decimal-based system of measurement used worldwide in science, industry, and everyday life. It provides standardized units that make measurements simple and consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Meter (m) \u2013 Unit of Length<\/strong>
      The meter is the fundamental unit of length in the metric system. It was originally defined in 1799 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. Today, it is precisely defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1\/299,792,458 of a second<\/strong>. The metric system allows for easy conversions using prefixes like kilometer (km), centimeter (cm), and millimeter (mm)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Liter (L) \u2013 Unit of Liquid Volume<\/strong>
      The liter is the primary unit for measuring liquid volume. One liter is equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters (cm\u00b3) or 1 cubic decimeter (dm\u00b3)<\/strong>. It is commonly used for measuring water, beverages, and other fluids. The metric system also includes milliliters (mL), where 1,000 mL = 1 L<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Gram (g) \u2013 Unit of Mass<\/strong>
      The gram is the standard unit of mass. It is based on the kilogram (kg), which is the SI base unit of mass. 1 kilogram (kg) = 1,000 grams (g)<\/strong>. The gram is commonly used in everyday life to measure food, ingredients, and small objects.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      This system simplifies calculations by using a base-10 structure, making it easier to understand and use worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
