Unified Code for Units of Measure

Unified code for units of measure is a system of numbers and symbols that helps us measure the size of things. It is like a common language that everyone understands and uses so that everyone can use the same measurements for things like length, weight, and volume. For example, we might use the symbol “cm” for centimeters and “m” for meters. This way, we can all agree that when someone says “2 cm”, they mean 2 centimeters and when someone says “2 m”, they mean 2 meters. This makes it easier to understand measurements, which helps us do things like measure our height, or bake a cake using the right ingredients.
