The document discusses systems of measurement and their units. It describes the metric system which uses meters, liters and grams as base units and derives other units from them like centimeters and milliliters. It also describes the English system based on feet, pounds and other imperial units. The document lists common units for measuring length, mass and capacity within each system. It defines conversion of units as changing the measured quantity value through conversion factors. Finally, it lists some traditional Honduran units of measurement that are not part of the metric or English systems, such as geme and cuarta.

1. Metric system The metric system is a system of measurement that uses the meter, liter, and gram as base units of length (distance), capacity (volume), and weight (mass) respectively. To measure smaller or larger quantities, we use units derived from the metric units. 2. Units for the metric system for length, mass and capacity Length Millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers. Mass Gram (g), kilogram (kg) and tonne (t). Capacity Liters, centiliter, milliliters and kiloliters.
3. English system A system of weights and measures based on the foot and pound and second and pint. 4. Units for the English system for length, mass and capacity Length Inch, foot, yard, and mile. Mass Pound, ounce, pennyweight, slug. Capacity Fluid ounce, cup, pint, quart, and gallon. 5. Convertion of units Conversion of units is the conversion between different units of measurement for the same quantity, typically through multiplicative conversion factors which change the measured quantity value without changing its effects. 6. Units of measure that are use in Honduras that are not in the metric or English system Geme, cuarta, brazada, vara cuadrada,
