| Measurement are an important part of our everyday life. Think about your day; you probably made some measurements.Perhaps you checked your weight by stepping on a scale. If you did not feel well, you may have taken your temperature. To make some soup, you added 2 cups of water to a package mix. If you stopped at the Petrol bunk, you watched the petrol pump measure the number of litres of petrol you put in the car. | | Measurement are an important part of our everyday life.
