Hey there!

1.The metric system is a decimal system of measurement whose units are based on certain physical standards and are scaled on multiples of 10.Metric units of length are easy to use because they are based on multiples of 10.


2.You can immerse the solid in water and measure the volume of the water displaced. The solid cannot dissolve in water.


3.A degree on the Fahrenheit scale must be smaller because there are 180 degrees between freezing and boiling as compared to 100 degrees for the same range on the Celsius scale.


Hope this helped @ShaggySnaps
