Why scientist use SI units instead of units such as inches and gallons?
The idea is to use an international standard - the same units everywhere.

How do you get the answer 140.608 in. in cubic units?
Linear units, like inches, can't be converted to cubic units. If they could, then you'd be able to calculate your height in gallons.
Why scientists use SI units instead of units of such as inches and gallons?
Not only scientists use them; everybody uses most SI units - except in a few countries, such as the United States. As for the reason, it is mainly (1) for standardization. It is convenient for people all over the world to use the same units. Also, there are two other reasons: (2) Conversions are simpler. To convert 17 km to meters, just multiply by 1000 (add 3 zeroes). This can be done in your head. Now, try converting 17 miles into feet! (3) The SI units are interrelated - they form a consistent set of units. This simplifies many formulae.
What problems could occur if some scientists measured objects by using si units and other scientists measured objects by using other units such as inches?
The answer would be different
What is the SI unit of a solid?
It depends on the solid, but typically the scientific unit of a solid is grams. SI units are always metric, so that means you would use centimeters or millimeters instead of inches, liters instead of gallons, et cetera.
How many gallons is 12X12X30?
The answer depends on the units used for the question. Are they 12 inches * 12 inches * 30 inches or are they feet, or metres or miles?
What is the non si unit for volume?
Cubic feet, or cubic inches, are often used. Then there are special units for volume, unfortunately, different units are used for liquids (gallons), and for dry things like grain (bushels).Cubic feet, or cubic inches, are often used.
