The US Customary system is a system of measurements which is used only in the US and seldom elsewhere. Some of its measurements include: inch, yard, mile, pound, quart, pint, etc. Elsewhere, the metric system is used. This is an efficient system because it is based on powers of 10. Some metric units include: kilogram, millimeter, centimeter, and kilometer.

Look for conversion factor of English Imperial system to metric system and vice versa?
The problem with the English Imperial system is that there's a different conversion factor for every unit ... potentially 100 different numbers to answer your question. If you'll choose one, two, or three specific English Imperial units, we'll give you their conversion factors to/from metric units, although those numbers are easily found on line.
Give an example of when you might measure the temperature uring the metric system?
There are many different occasions when a person would want to measure the temperature using the metric system.

When did Germany adopt the metric system?
The North German Confederation adopted the metric system in 1868 and the remaining states in 1875 (after unification). In some of the German states the metric and pre-metric systems were both in use before 1868 - and after 1875.

Give three advantages of the metric system over the English system of measurement?
One advantage is that it is based on 10 making it easy to move the decimal place over and when rounding. Another advantage is the that the rest of the world uses it so that we can all communicate in the language of the metric system. And lastly it has 3 units and prefixes so you just add the prefix necessary for the measurement you are looking at. The prefixes are kilo, hecto, deka, base units,deci,centi, and milli.

Why study metric system?
The study of metric system and units are important as it give a simple conversion factors. Metric units always goes by the powers of 10 that the calculations becomes easier to deal with than imperial where the conversion factors differ by its units.
