What are the metic units for inches?

Question

I am doing a project for my environmental science class, and I got soil samples at 5 cm and 10cm but my teacher says it needs to be in metrics. What are the metrics for centimeters?

Answer 1

Millimeters.

Seriously, ask your science teacher if s/he knows what a centimeter is?

Answer 2

No wonder education is in such an appalling state. If teachers do not understand that centimeters are a unit of metric measurement them we might as well give up the struggle and allow the world to sink back into the mire of ignorance from which these teachers have yet to emerge.

Answer 3

Metrics for centimeters????

Millimeter, Centimeter, Decimeter, Meter and so on and so forth are all measurements in metrics.

Answer 4

Centimetres are 'metric'. They're 1/100th of a metre (hence centi - 100).

Centimetres themselves are divided into small units called millimetres. There are 10 millimetres in a centimetre and a 1,000 millimetres in a metre.

I don't know where you are bringing inches into this
