WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF THE METRIC SYSTEM OF UNITS OVER THE BRITISH SYSTEM?
The metric system is based on multiples of 10, and human math tends to work well with multiples of 10. Just think how easy it is to do 8 x 100 in your head, versus 8 x 193. This means you don’t have to remember that there are 12 inches in a foot, or 5280 feet in a mile. Also, water freezes at 0 and boils at 100. I have no idea how anyone developed a system where this is not the case.
