Question

In your own words,provide 2 advantages of using meters as a measurement of length rather than old measurements of length such as hands and steps

Answer 1

Answer:

1.Accuracy

2.Acceptance

Explanation:

1. The first advantage is Accuracy. Using meters gives us a far more precise unit of measurement because of the exact scale of reading whereas hands and steps are more of approximate methods as they may not be as accurate as the using meter due to lack of exact scale of reading.

2. The second advantage is Acceptance. Usage of meter as a unit of measurement of length is now a widely accepted unit of measurement whereas, hands and steps are not widely accepted due to their approximate nature as compared to the exact nature of metres.
