Work Step by Step

The SI system has seven major units that include Mass (expressed in kilograms), length (expressed in meters), temperature (expressed in kelvin), time (expressed in seconds), energy (expressed in joules), electrical current (expressed in joule), and amount of substance (expressed in mole). Comparatively, the U.S.A. conventional system derives additional units from the SI base units. Mass is expressed in kilograms, pounds, grams, and ounces. Length is expressed in meters, inches, feet, centimeters, kilometers and miles. Volume is expressed in either cubic meters or cubic feet, or liters or gallons or quarts. The U.S. customary system has more derived units than the SI system.
