  3. Decimalisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimalisation

    Decimalisation or decimalization (see spelling differences) is the conversion of a system of currency or of weights and measures to units related by powers of 10.. Most countries have decimalised their currencies, converting them from non-decimal sub-units to a decimal system, with one basic currency unit and sub-units that are to a power of 10, most commonly 100, and exceptionally 1000; and ...

    It is therefore not possible to make an exact conversion between these units. Representative figures for the amount of grapes needed for 100 L of wine are 160 kg for white wine, 130 kg for red wine, and 140 kg for a mixture of red and white wine. [1] Thus: [2] for white wine, 100 hl/ha ≈ 16,000 kg/ha (16 t/ha) = 6.5 tons per acre.

    The imperial system has a hundredweight, defined as eight stone of 14 lb each, or 112 lb (50.80234544kg), whereas a US hundredweight is 100 lb (45.359237kg). In both systems, 20 hundredweights make a ton. In the US, the terms long ton (2240 lb, 1016.0469088kg) and short ton (2000 lb; 907.18474kg) are used. The metric ton is the name used for ...

    Decimal time was introduced in the decree of 5 October 1793 under which the day was divided into 10 "decimal hours", the "hour" into 100 " decimal minutes" and the "decimal minute" into 100 "decimal seconds". The "decimal hour" corresponded to 2 hr 24 min, the "decimal minute" to 1.44 min and the "decimal second" to 0.864 s.
