Explain why some people use the term decimal system as a synonym for the metric system?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Luda [366]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The term Decimal is coined from the word Decimus. Decimus is a Latin word which means ‘tenth’.

The Decimal system is a system of numbering that is based on multiples of tens. It is flexible and easy to convert from one metric to another.

The preference of the term over the Metric System is because the word Metric is related more to the measurement of lengths if we looked at the origin of the word which is French.

Cheers!
