In Europe, 9 times out of 10 when ordering drinks in a restaurant, the
sizes are in cL (especially France, Belgium..) For the US, I'd just
stick to mL and L, but I found no problem with cL...just add a 0 at
the end and call it mL if you have trouble.
Quoting Mike Millet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I was going through my sister's math curriculum the other day for fun seeing
if I could remember all my math from way back when. My mom homeschools
and the curriculum she uses is one from a UK school, which means that
thankfully all the problems are in SI.
One thing that did throw me for a loop was the questions that asked "how
many cL are in one liter"
Is the centiliter more common in European schools and life instead of the
milliliter?
I have to admit to being embarrased on the matching game though. I
incorrectly labelled a dog as weighing one metric tonne because the picture
looked a lot like the cow next to it at first glance, and the questions
where it presented you with a picture and asked you to guess how much each
item weighed in real life really threw me.
It was a fun test of my very early math skills though.
