What is the importance of standard units in everyday life?

Answer 1

For the simple fact that it's standardized, common, and easy to use. A liter is the same everywhere and it's easily converted to smaller units like millileter because it's divisible by 10's, 100's, or 1000's, which you can do easily in your head. A Gallon, on the other hand, has different amount in England, and it has 4 quarts or 16 fluid ounces in it.

Answer 2

The reason science uses SI units is because all the nations of the world except three (Burma, Liberia and the U.S.) have adopted SI units as the standard units of measurement. The SI units also have the advantage of being organized around powers of ten, making it simple to describe objects at very small and very large scales. The SI units as well are all based on fundamental physical properties (except of the kilogram) and so can be reproduced in any laboratory in the world.

Answer 3

SI (systeme international) units are used as a standard frame of reference to avoid confusion arising from the use of non-standard units of measurement. SI units are agreed upon by everybody. Differences in standards used by individual countries can have disastrous consequences. For example a US Gallon is a very different quantity to a UK Gallon, while a Litre is the same quantity in every country.

Answer 4

in the past,people used parts of their bodies and things around them as units of measurement.that was how measuring terms like foot,yard and horsepower came about.unfortunately,such methods of measurement created much confusion.it was not until 1968 that scientists agreed to adopt one universal set of units-the SI units.this method is faster and easier and everything is measured accurately as it is the proper and garranteed way of measuring the base quantities.

Answer 5

standard units play an important role in identifying optimum check of how much quantity has been consumed in each ratio.

Answer 6

To see if the same studies around the world yield the same results-it's for simplicity.:D
