Business considered it to be too expensive to change over at that time.
yes he did and we still use it today :)
The original metric system was first proposed in 1668, and was not adopted until the mid-1670s. The closest thing the ancients had, in terms of universal use and ease of that use, were more along the lines of imperial units.
We use SI units in scientific measurements and calculations because they provide a standardized system of measurement that is consistent and universally understood. This allows for accurate and reliable communication of data and results across different fields of science and countries.
Chinese numeral characters, which are part of the written Chinese language, are still in use. Arabic numerals are also widely used in China.
i think it is to measure units of a square
In the old days the English created the imperial system (the us still use this system). But nowadays they use the metric system.
Although it is familiar with the International system, the United States uses the English system of units.

The English system does not have simple relationships of any kind, that is why scientists, and nearly the entire world other than the US, use the metric system.
Usually people use the metric system, some (like people of the United States) use the English system.
They use an Imperial Measurement System, also known as, English System of Units.
BTU (British thermal units) is one possibility, along with a variety of others.
To measure a soccer field in the metric system, you would use a metric measuring tape or a measuring wheel. The units used could be meters or centimeters. In the English system, you would use a tape measure or a measuring wheel calibrated in feet or yards. The units used would be feet or yards.
Some scientists use English units in certain situations, especially in the United States. However, the scientific community generally prefers to use the metric system for its simplicity and consistency.
Conversion started in 1970, and is still ongoing. Many of the older units are still being used.
Scientists primarily use the metric system of measurement in their work due to its standardized units and ease of conversion. The metric system is based on powers of ten, making calculations simpler and more accurate. The English system, also known as the Imperial system, is less commonly used in scientific research due to its lack of consistency and standardized units.
The United States, Liberia, and Myanmar are the primary countries that use the English system of measurement, which includes units like inches, feet, pounds, and Fahrenheit for temperature.
