Sure we do, it's 1/1000 of a kilometer!

It is a 100 centimeters =1000 millimetres =1,000,000 micrometers =1,000,000,000 nanometers=1,000,000,000,000 Picometers. =1,000,000,000,000,000,femtometers......

1000 meters
On mile is a 1609 meters
On notical mile is 1852 meters.

Of course! However, the fly in the ointment is if you're driving down the road trying to figure all that out, all the numbers keep changing, so you're never right.

Pstt, benny, they don't know what a metre is either.

Nor do we want/need to

If you want to mesure the diameter of red blood cells what will it be in the American way?
In the metric system it is 6-8 micrometers AKA 6-7 1/1,000,000 ,000 of a meter.

That's why I said the general equivalent of 2 km being 1 mile... If you're in Canada unexpectedly and you're panicking, just divide the number in half and you'll be pretty close. If you get stopped for speeding, remember, I never told you this.

It's 1.09 yards, so I'm pretty sure even you can grasp that idea.

We actually do learn the metric system in school, at least back when I went. We started converting to it in the mid 1970's. so the conversation should be complete any day now.

It would just be some fraction of an inch rather than fraction of a meter. However, anyone actually measuring red blood cells would be using the metric system.
