the basic measurements of length, volume, and mass are 1 meter, 1 meter³ and 1kilogram.
One 10-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator would equal one meter.
A cube with sides of one meter has a volume of one meter³.
The mass of 1,000 cubic centimeters of water is very close to (and was originally intended to be exactly) one kilograms.
but today a more precise way to define is available in which:
1 meter is defined as the distance traveled by light in 1/3×10⁸ sec.
The weight of a specific platinum-iridium prototype held by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures is defined as 1 kg.
moreover these measurements are man made and are not absolute and therefore many new units of measurement can be defined as long as they are fundamentally same everywhere.

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)
On Earth ...
Weight = (1 kg) x (9.8 m/s^2)
Weight = 9.8 Newtons
Well first of all, I think the students may have been correct.
If they didn't use distilled water, and if it wasn't exactly at
standard temperature, then the mass of 25.0 mL could
very well be 25.4 grams. We don't know that there was
any 'error' in their measurement at all.
But the question says there was, so we'll do the math:
The 'error' was (25.4 - 25.0) = +0.4 gram
As a fraction of the 'real' value, the error was
+0.4 / 25.0 = +0.016 .
To change a decimal to a percent, move the
decimal point two places that way ===> .
+ 0.016 = +1.6 % .
Their measurement was 1.6% too high.
Let's not call it an 'error'. Let's just call it a 'discrepancy'
between the measured value and the 'accepted' value. OK ?
The food you eat every day provides the nutrients you need to survive. These food components include the macronutrients – protein, carbohydrate and fat – that offer calories as well as play specific roles in maintaining your health. Micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, don’t act as an energy source but do serve a variety of critical functions to ensure your body operates as optimally as possible.
