The metric system is much more convenient for unit conversions because they only involve multiplying or dividing by a power of ten which preserves accuracy (don't need to round as much) and is convenient when dealing with very large or very small numbers.
For example, knowing that 1,000 millimeter = 1meter and 1 kilometer = 1000 meter, you can convert :
100,000,000 millimeters into kilometers relatively easy.
(You can do it in 1 step but to make it clear, it's nice to do it in two)
100,000,000 mm * 1meter per 1000 millimeters = 100,000 meters
100,000 meters * 1 kilometer per 1000 meters = 100 kilometers
Now think about trying to convert 100,000,000 inches to miles...

The version of the metric system that modern scientist uses is called The International System of Units or SI.
Why do scientists find it helpful to use the metric system?
Scientist usually use the metric system in their work because it is easy to use, because it is based on multiples of 10
