What are the reasons that there are fewer units to memorize and convert in the metric system?
The Metric system was designed from the start to be simpler than older systems. Take length, for example. In the Imperial system, there are units like inches, feet, yards, rods, fathoms, miles. In the Metric system, there is just one unit of length: the meter. To get larger and smaller units, you use different prefixes, like kilo for 1000, Mega for a million, milli for 1/1000, etc. The point is, the prefixes used are the same for different units. Here are some other problems with the Imperial system. In the metric system, the unit for volume (cubic meter) is directly related to the unit of length (the meter). In the Imperial system, the gallon is commonly used for volume, but it is unrelated to the unit of length. Cubic feet are also used, but unfortunately, the conversion factor between cubic feet and gallons is no simple number (like 1, 10, or perhaps 1000). Worse, different units for volume are used for dry volume (as for grains) and liquid volume.
