Do some research on countries that have recently gone metric what prolems did these countries face how did they overcome the problems did the benefits of converting to the metric system outweight the?
I have homework in my science book with the same exact question.. literally its word from word. well there really is no answer to this question. all there is, is a bunch of countries that went metric in the 1900's which is not useful so take my advice and put no answer next to that question.

Why is it easier to convert meters to centimeters or millimeters?
cm --> mm is based on the metric system, which is in intervals of 10. This is easier than converting from who knows what from feet --> in. etc. (metric system is easier)
What is 10000milimetres into kilometres?
Converting from millimeters to kilometers, 10,000 millimeters is 0.01 kilometers. Millimeters and kilometers are part of the metric system.
What are the benefits of metric system over the English system?
The metric system makes more sense because it uses planned out sizes instead of random sizes that don't correlate with each other.
