The basic unit of length in the metric system is the meter. Grams are used to measure weight and liter is used to measure liquid capacity
besides, it is used  so that you can express very large and very small numbers in a short unambiguous manner.
Example Instead of saying "three thousand million" meters
They classify the decimal place of the basic unit. ie, the meter is classified with milli (1/1000), centi(1/100), deci (1/10), Deca (10), Hecto (100), Kilo (1000).

If x varies directly with y and x = 2.5 when y = 10, funny x when y = 16.
amid [387]

Answer:

Should be 4.0(Not sure tho. my thought process is complicated but to me it makes sense)

Step-by-step explanation:

If y=10 and x =2.5, if y were to = 20, then x would equal 5. so you take that ratio, and say 6 is 3/5's the way to 10, so you also divide 2.5 by 3/5

you get 1.5, you add that to x already and you get 4.0

so if y=16, x should =4.0
