The metric system is used all over the world.
Yes The metric, or SI, system is used by scientists in every country.
To use the same common system all over the world.
The Metric system is just over 200 years old. I hope that is what you were looking for:) by the way that i smiley
it is important to use the metric system because only three countries do not use it and scientist have to comunicate their results all over the world
One advantage is that it is based on 10 making it easy to move the decimal place over and when rounding. Another advantage is the that the rest of the world uses it so that we can all communicate in the language of the metric system. And lastly it has 3 units and prefixes so you just add the prefix necessary for the measurement you are looking at. The prefixes are kilo, hecto, deka, base units,deci,centi, and milli.
The metric system makes more sense because it uses planned out sizes instead of random sizes that don't correlate with each other.
It is well-defined, consistent and more practical.
