unit of measure
Quantification scale division
A unit of measure is a standard quantity used to express and compare amounts of something—length, weight, time, volume, temperature.
Inches, pounds, seconds, and liters are units of measure.
Systems like metric and imperial organize these units into consistent frameworks.
Without agreed-upon units, measurement would be meaningless: The recipe calls for two cups of flour.
