Scientists use the metric system because of it is based on groups of 10s and 100s, etc. The metric system makes it easier to convert different forms of measurement (where as measurements of the standard system are random, such as the twelve inches in a foot and three feet in a meter etc.) The metric system is also beneficial because it is more commonly used around the world. sometimes the metric system is considered more complex than the standard system but it is really much simpler.

It goes further. Science now uses the Systeme Internationale, (there should be accents in "systeme" but Answers' text-editor is too basic for that). SI uses a very few basic units, all metric and mutually coherent, although at cost of some clumsiness when trying to use certain ones for ordinary, everyday purposes. To compensate to a point for that, SI allows a few "non-preferred" additional but still mainly metric units for everyday purposes. Its designers also decided to name the compound units after pioneering scientists, which is all very well as a point of honour, but useless for dimensional analysis!

OH, and there are NOT 3 ft in a Metre, if you meant that as a conversion! 1m is approximately 39 inches, a significant difference. 3ft = 36 ins = 1 yard, instead.

how would the US metric system help you?
The US does not use the metric system.
Does Germany use Metric or US costumary system?
Germany, in line with the rest of the world except the U.S., uses the metric system.
How do the US use the metric system?
The metric system is used in many scientific fields and industries in the US, such as in laboratories, engineering, and international trade. However, the US primarily uses the Imperial system for everyday measurements like distance, weight, and volume.
When did the us first oppose the metric system?
The U.S. first opposed the metric system in the 19th century when Congress passed the Metric Act of 1866, which allowed but did not require the use of the metric system. Since then, the U.S. has been slow to fully adopt the metric system for everyday use, despite efforts to encourage its use in certain industries.
When did congress authorize the use of the metric system?
The use of the metric system was made legal as a system of measurement in the US in 1866. The system was officially adopted by the federal government in 1975 for use in the military and government agencies, and as preferred system for trade and commerce.

Does the us use the customary system?
Yes they do use only the metric system
Does the us use the metric or feet system?

What year did the US legalise the use of metric system?
In 1869Congress legalized the use of the metric system. In 1893 the Office of Weights and Measures adopted the metric system in legally defining the yard and the pound.
Why does the US teach their students the metric system if they do not use it?
Anyone who does any science in the US will need to use the metric system because other scientist across the world will be using the system. In international trade, too, many commodities and product specifications are in the metric system.
Why does the US use both the metric system and the standard system?
the government thinks that it would be hard for older people to learn the metric system.

Germany, in line with the rest of the world except the U.S., uses the metric system.
