The distance between two towns can be measured in either imperial or metric units of length. Imperial unit would be miles, whilst the metric unit would be kilometres.
Acre is an imperial measurment. Hectacre would be an analogous metric measurment.
English and Metric
Yes, they are.
I was taught the imperial system whilst a schoolboy in the UK, many years ago. So I prefer imperial rather than metric. But, as metric is becoming the norm, I have become familiar with both systems.
The difference is that an Imperial gallon exists, whereas a 'metric' gallon doesn't.
you can identify the slight different between an imperial bolt and a metric bolt by looking how fine their thread pitch looks like or feels like
Generally speaking you cannot convert between imperial and metric unless you are a very able mathematician.
A gallon is certainly not metric. It is imperial.
They didn't. Metric Units were developed independently of Imperial units. Originally each country, and sometimes different parts of the same country, had different sets of units. The Metric System was invented to solve the confusion of different units used in different parts of France. Gradually other countries adopted Metric and abolished their own units. The British Imperial units were one of the last to be abolished.
it is the same. But sometime people call it different. T5 is imperial based and T16 is Metric based.
Depends, what you want to convert to what. To convert between different metric units, powers of 10 are used. For example, a kilometer is 1000 meters. To convert from metric units to imperial units, you have to ask specific questions for specific units, for example, "how to convert inches to meters", or "how to convert pounds to kilograms".Depends, what you want to convert to what.

Imperial.

Metric tons can't be converted to imperial gallons. Metric tons measure mass, while imperial gallons measure volume.
There is no such thing as a metric gallon. The metric measurement is litres. There are 4.54609188 litres to an imperial gallon.
