When you go to the grocery store to buy cereal, for example, there's a tag on the shelf that tells you the price per ounce of cereal so you can compare the cost of one brand over another.

When you go to the grocery store to buy cereal, for example, there's a tag on the shelf that tells you the price per ounce of cereal so you can compare the cost of one brand over another. Without a standard measure of weight, in this case an ounce, you wouldn't know exactly what you are paying for. People figured out that they needed standards of weight and measure, as they are called, in the earliest of civilizations so that everyone would understand what they were getting when they bought something. All around the world you see hanging scales in the markets to weigh produce and other foods. Even in the age of automated food weighing at the check-out counter, you still see hanging scales in the grocery store. read less

When we quantify, what we are observing, then such an observation is a science or knowledge. However, without the quantification of an observation, thought is simply a process of gaining knowledge, but has yet to reach a stage, to be called a 'science'. Hence, to call a subject 'science', the thought...

However, without the quantification of an observation, thought is simply a process of gaining knowledge, but has yet to reach a stage, to be called a 'science'. Hence, to call a subject 'science', the thought process ultimately has to be quantified suitably, using appropriate units of measurement. read less

If we don't follow any standard measurement of units then the exchange of resources won't be standardized, for instance its like if we wish to buy a phone, for the same price rate of an Iphone 6, the shopkeeper can sell us Nokia 1100.

There exsists various types of materials in this world. These cannot be counted or measured individually. Hence to measure such physical quantities , these are classified in three major groups, or units namely length, mass and time.( Other major units are also there. ). Now in a group, each type of...

Now in a group, each type of material / physical quantity is measured in a relative method. Thus, the measurement of units help us count / measure a particular physical quantity in a relative way. read less

Measurement units are required to quantify substances for performing an experiment or completing a situation. For eg. in marathon race, participants take the race as per their capacity which may be 100m, 500m or 1000m (metre as in the unit of measurement). Similarly, when performing chemistry practical...

For eg. in marathon race, participants take the race as per their capacity which may be 100m, 500m or 1000m (metre as in the unit of measurement). Similarly, when performing chemistry practical experiments, measurement of each chemical is critical for the success of the experiment (like mol, ml). In practical life as well, measurement is of utmost importance. Another example, if a new recipe that you wud have just learnt mentions half teaspoon of salt an an ingredient, and you add 1 tablespoon of it, the dish may turn out real freak. read less

A bag contains 6 nails and 10 nuts. half of the nails and half of the nuts are rusted. if one item is chosen at random then find the probability that it is rusted and is a nail.
SINCE HALF OF THE NAILS ARE RUSTED, THERE ARE 6X(1/2)=3 RUSTED NAILS. TOTAL NUMBER OF ITEMS IS 10+6=16. SO PROBABILITY=3/16
