Anything that makes math easier is always a good thing, correct?
The International System of Units is the modern metric system and the most widely used system of measurement. The abbreviation "S.I." is short for the French "Systeme International." There are base units, such as second (for time), meter (for length), and ampere (for electric current). Then there are derived units of measurement. We've included quite a few derived units on this test. How well can you reckon the differences?
