units of measure
Inches, pounds, liters
Units of measure are standardized quantities used to express physical properties—length, weight, volume, time, temperature.
Inches and centimeters measure distance; pounds and kilograms measure mass; gallons and liters measure capacity.
Systems like metric and imperial provide internally consistent sets of units.
The recipe calls for metric units of measure, but I only have American measuring cups.
