There are many ways that the metric system is more convenient than the English system of units, but they boil down to two broad reasons. The first reason is that it is much easier to convert between different types of measurement in the metric system. 1 milliliter (ml) of water weighs exactly 1 gram (g). 1 ml also has the volume of exactly 1 cubic centimeter (cm). Celsius is also based on the properties of water. 0oC is freezing, and 100oC is boiling. The English system is much more difficult: 32oF is freezing, and 212oF is boiling. 1 cubic foot (ft). = 7.48051948 US gallons (gal). However, a British gallon (or imperial gallon) is different. 1 cubic ft = 6.22883288 Imperial gallons 1 gallon of water weighs about 8.35 pounds (Lbs) in the U.S., but in Britain it weighs it weighs exactly 10 Lbs. So a gallon has a different volume depending on where you are, but metric is always the same. The other way that metric is more convenient than the English system is that metric is always based on multiples of ten, whereas the English system isn't really based on anything 1000 millimeters in a meter, 1000 meters in a kilometer. The same is true for grams and liters. But look at the English system: 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon, 16 tablespoons in cup, 2 cups in a pint, 2 pints in a quart, 4 quarts in a gallon. 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard, 1760 yards in a mile. 16 ounces in a pound, 2000 pounds in an U.S. ton, but 2240 pounds in a British ton. As an example of how much more simple metric than the English system is, see if it takes you longer to figure out how many teaspoons are in a gallon versus how many milliliters are in a liter. ANSWER: 1000 milliliters in a liter, 768 teaspoons in a gallon.
The metric system is considered more convenient to use because it is based on powers of 10, which allows for easy conversions between units. It is also used worldwide, making it consistent across different countries and industries. Additionally, the metric system is simpler and more logical compared to other systems of measurement.
The metric system is considered more convenient to use because of its standardized base units, decimal system, and easy interconversion between units. It is widely used around the world for its simplicity and ease of understanding.
Bushels are a unit of measurement in the English system, not the metric system.
The fundamental unit that is the same in both the metric system and English system is the unit of mass, which is the pound (lb) in the English system and the kilogram (kg) in the metric system.
The gram is a metric unit of mass.
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.
