What is a name for a unit of measure and value

I'm trying to find a word that describes both the unit and value of something. The unit types and values are arbitrary.

For instance "10 meters" and "52 inches" are examples of (the word). "10 liters" and "40 watts" are examples of (the word), etc.

Is there such a word? I can't think of it.


Solution 1:

I would think the word quantity might suffice, but the dictionary strongly supports the word measurement. From Macmillan:

the exact size, degree, strength etc of something, usually expressed in numbers of standard units

So, "10 liters" is a measurement. So are "40 watts," "12 acres," and "7.5 light years."

Solution 2:

The term dimensioned quantity or dimensioned number denotes numbers with units attached (1,2,3). (Note: link 3 may popup an ad.)

Link 1 (a wikipedia article) uses the circumlocution non-dimensionless quantity rather than the more-direct term dimensioned quantity, because the article primarily discusses dimensionless quantities rather than dimensioned ones.

Link 2 (a trinidadstate.edu webpage) says “Dimensioned numbers follow a few simple rules” and then explains several conversion, addition, and multiplication rules for dimensioned numbers.

Link 3 (apparently an online course reading) says:

A “dimensioned quantity” is a number with attached units. For example, your age is a dimensioned quantity — 29 years, say. [...] Whenever we perform arithmetic with dimensioned quantities, the units must be consistent and make sense. You can use this fact to figure out what gets multiplied by what. But to do that, you have to understand the rules of arithmetic with dimensioned quantities.

Dimensioned quantities always have two parts: the numeric part, and the unit part. The “unit” is the dimension — years or seconds in the examples above. Dimensioned quantities obey the rules of arithmetic, with a couple of modifications: [...]
