The metric system has a base of ten (for example there are 10 mm in 1 cm, 100 cm in 1 m, 1000 m in 1 km) whereas the English system isn't (12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard and 5280 feet in a mile) so there aren't a bunch of arbitrary conversions to remember in the metric system

Give an example of English system and metric system?
The US Customary system is a system of measurements which is used only in the US and seldom elsewhere. Some of its measurements include: inch, yard, mile, pound, quart, pint, etc. Elsewhere, the metric system is used. This is an efficient system because it is based on powers of 10. Some metric units include: kilogram, millimeter, centimeter, and kilometer.
Is English system considered as a metric system?
The English system is a measurement system; in a sense it is a metric system but it is not the metric system, so I would avoid using that word to describe it.
When did US get metric?

Why is using the metric system superior to using the standard system of measurement?
It's not "superior" ... but it is the agreed on system for almost all the world - thus it's advantage is consistency.
Advantage and disadvantage of using a meterstick?
the metric system is divisable by units OS ten which makes it simple to convert measurements in meters into other metric units
Which continent uses the metric system?

How do you measure using the metric system?
By using measuring tools with metric measurements on them.
What does Metric Conversion mean in math terms?
It means multiplying with constants from a non metric system (such as length using yards, feet, inches) to a metric system (using meters)
What does metric volume mean?
It is a measurement of volume using units from the metric system.
What is metric mesument?
Metric measurement is measurement made using units as defined under the metric system.
What are some advantages that the metric system has over the imperial system?
The metric system has the advantage of base 10 conversion. There are 100 centimeters to a meter, 1000 milliliters to a liter, and 1000 grams to a kilogram. This means that so long as you are using Base 10 for your calculations, all you have to do to move a decimal point.
Why it would be advantage for the us to switch to the metric system of measurement?
Because almost all countries in the world are using it and the fact that it is so simple that even they could use it.
