=**__Customary Measurment System__** = ===**The customary measurement system is based on a variety of measurements. The Egyptians have evidence that proves that they may be the earliest civilization that discovered a standard unit for length. The Egyptian //cubit// was developed about 3000 BC, the unit was based on the length of the arm (from the elbow to the extended finger). The Customary Measurement System is used by the United States. But other than the US, people use the Metric System. Customary measures are usually written in fractions or mixed fractions.**===

 * LENGTH  ** - inches/feet/yards/miles

WEIGHT
