It is unfortunate that you do not understand the metric system, since the metric system is inherently more simple than the system you are currently using. The metric system is based off of powers of ten. You take a standard unit, such as the meter or gram, and add prefixes accordingly to express a manifold of the standard amount. An interesting note is that units, such as the meter, are based off absolute quantities. For example, the meter is now defined as the exact distance the speed of light travels in a certain amount of time, while the foot is, well, is based off of the length of your foot.

The saying I remember is:
King (Kilo)
Henry (Hecto)
Died (Deca)
Belly-up (Basic-units, for example grams)
Drinking (Deci)
Chocolate (Centi)
Milk (Milli)
Stupid, I know, but it works!
There is no simple way since there are very many different units with very many different conversion factors. For example:
That is just for starters! And that is why most of the rest of the world, being more sensible, adopted the metric system which is based mainly on multiples of 10 (and powers of 10).

King (Kilo) Henry (Hecto) Died (Deca) By (Base) Drinking (Deci) Chocolate (Centi) Milk (Milli)

As I remember from grade school back in the 1960's I believe it was called: "Units and Standards" We refer to the U.S. measurement system today as the "Standard Measurement," "US Standard," "English Units," "US Customary Units," and "Imperial Units."
it is a base 10 measurement system.
No, Inches are part of the American "Customary" system...Metric is way easier to use but America refuses
Metric and customary measurements are similar in the way that they both are used to measure things. They differ though, in the scale they use and the way that they measure.

In a way yes, it is.
the metric system/SI
it is a base 10 measurement system.
A decimal number is a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. Measurement units in the metric system are related to one another by multiples of powers of ten (or 1000).
Executives oftentimes construct roadmaps for designing a performance measurement system. These systems provide a way of assessing employee performance and management styles.

Yes. There is no system of measurement that is "perfect" in every way. We work hard to reduce error or uncertainty when we measure stuff, but we cannot eliminate it.
Not sure whether it is in any way more "useful", but a common unit of measurement for distances within the Solar System is the AU.SI units, especially meters and kilometers, are also used, though.
