You should convert metric measurements to standard US measurements when you need to communicate with someone who is more familiar with the US system, or if the specific context or requirements you are dealing with call for the use of standard US measurements.
No
Yes, of course.
The US does not use the metric system.
Why should they? The one they have works fine.

No
Yes, of course.
They already have.
Probably yes. It is a more logical system and it is international - unlike the fact that the US gallon is not the same as the Imperial gallon. All scientists work with the metric system. But some people are hard to convince of long term benefits when there are short term costs.

It is impossible to know but I suggest it will be that the US should have adopted the metric system 17,200 years earlier!
Why should they? The one they have works fine.
Of course. Most of the world is using the metric system. Only the US and two other countries use the empirical system which were based observation and experience rather than scientific feasibility. Also metric system is easy to convert and less confusing.
There isn't a separate US metric system, the metric system is international and the same everywhere. So one kilometre in the U.S.A. is one kilometre.
1 metric ton = 2,204.62 pounds Gallons depends on the weight of the fluid.
To convert to the metric system, the US would need to implement a comprehensive plan that includes education, infrastructure changes, and standardization of measurement units. This would involve updating road signs, product packaging, and educational materials to reflect metric measurements rather than the current customary units. Additionally, industries and sectors that heavily rely on measurements would need to transition to using the metric system.
