Give me ONE advantage of NOT using SI measurement. Already knowing those archaic units and not knowing metric units is not an advantage, it's actually a disadvantage.
The absolute simplicity of just moving a decimal point to change from one unit to another unit, is the reason for the change. It is SOOO simple .
E.G. Turn 6300 Pounds to UK Tons. Answer: 6300 divided by 2240 = ? DO THAT WITHOUT A MODERN CALCULATOR IN YOUR POCKET. It takes too long.
OR turn 6300 Kg to Tonne. Answer: (Move the decimal point) 6.3 Tonne TOO EASY
No need for a calculator.
Now try this: How many acres in a land area 400 feet X 200 feet ? Answer=1.836 Acre
To calculate that answer you divide 80,000 by 9,then by 30.25,then by40,then by 4 !
How crazy is that?
Now turn 400Metre X 200Metre to HECTARES Answer: 80,000 divided by 10,000
which equals 8 Hectares. HOW EASY IS THAT ? No calculator needed. Just move the decimal point 4 places to the left to get an answer.
