Where scientific methods are required (in academia and in manufacturing industries)
The only unit that appears in both the modern SI (metric) system and the old fashioned system is the second.
No
The metric system in universal around the world whereas the customary system is only used in the US. For this reason scientists and mathmeticians all use the metric system because it creates a sort of universal language so there is no translating.
The US does not use the metric system.
The unit of mass, the kilogram, is a part of both the US customary system and the metric system. In the US customary system, pounds are used for mass measurement, while the metric system uses kilograms.
The only unit that appears in both the modern SI (metric) system and the old fashioned system is the second.
No
No, even the US uses the metric system (although we retain traditional units for many purposes). Even the traditional units used in the US use the metric system as their calibration standards (eliminating the older independant traditional standards). I have an 1877 Arithmetic schoolbook which has a section on using the metric system that was used in US grade schools at that time. (this copy was used by my grandmother and her sister when they were in grade school)
Only the US uses the metric system. Hope it helped :D

The metric system is used all over the world.
Yes they do use only the metric system
Because the metric unit is used in the rest of the world. We are perhaps the only country with our own customary unit system.
Science, technology, trade, all around us is based on the metric system; only some rare traditionalists without studies use an another system.
the metric system
No. Congress can decide whether or not the metric system is adopted by the US, but the metric system exists and is used by developed countries whatever Congress choses to do.
