The United States is the country where the metric system is not the main system of measurement. The US primarily uses the Imperial system for measurements such as distance, weight, and volume.
Meters, liters, kilograms.
As well as being the system used in most countries around the world, as well as in most professions, the metric system is simple to use as it has a single set of base units to which prefixes can be added to increase the value in multiples of ten. For example, the base unit of length is the metre; a centimetre is one hundredth of metre and a kilometre is one thousand metres. The same prefixes are used for all metric units (so a kilogram is one thousand grams).
The metric system used around the world is the International System of Units (SI), which is based on seven base units: meter (length), kilogram (mass), second (time), ampere (electric current), kelvin (temperature), mole (amount of substance), and candela (luminous intensity).
The metric system is used in all countries. It is the main system of measurement in every country except Myanmar(Burma), Liberia, and the U.S.A.
The main advantage of the metric system is that it is very logical. One example that illustrates this is water. 1 litre of water weighs 1kg 1 metric tonne (1000kg) of water will take up the volume of approximately one cubic meter Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C These simple concepts make metric calculation very easy.
No. England and the US are the main places still using non-metric units. The metric system was invented in France and the French use grammes (grams) and kg.
The 'Meter'.

The main advantage of using this is remote access on the network.
Yes The metric, or SI, system is used by scientists in every country.
First of all, the metric unit IS the standard unit. It is the international standard, and only a few countries don't use it yet. It is not any more accurate - the inch, for example, is defined on the basis of the meter, so it is just as accurate. However, the metric system can help avoid confusions - for example, different countries used to have, and in part still have, different definitions for the pound. The main advantage of the metric system lies in its standardization - people all over the world using the SAME measurements.
Meters, liters, kilograms.
