First of all, the metric unit IS the standard unit. It is the international standard, and only a few countries don't use it yet.
It is not any more accurate - the inch, for example, is defined on the basis of the meter, so it is just as accurate. However, the metric system can help avoid confusions - for example, different countries used to have, and in part still have, different definitions for the pound.
The main advantage of the metric system lies in its standardization - people all over the world using the SAME measurements.
Is metric measurement more accurate than stanard when calucation of BMI ?
Than all people will have to use metric measurement. Schools will have to provide special courses for teaching metrics, metric tools for measuring will have to be bought, and everything will have to be relabeled. * * * * * But if all people use the metric system then you will have standard measurements! The question is about what will happen if you don't.
The more accurate number - is 1.005 - as it is accurate to more decimal places than the other examples.
Depends on if by 'customary' you're referring to a short ton or a long ton. A short ton is less than a metric ton; a long ton is more than a metric ton.
Because you have more than one point.
Millimeters are smaller so if a measurement is given in mm it is likely to be more accurate than a measurement given in cm. However, it's important to note that neither mm nor cm is inherently more accurate.
Metric units have many advantages over Imperial units but precision and accuracy are not amongst them. Precision and accuracy depends on the individual units in use. For example, A kilometre is more accurate than a mile, A furlong is more accurate than a kilometre, A metre is more accurate than a kilometre, A yard is more accurate than a metre, A foot is more accurate than a metre, An inch is more accurate than a foot, A centimetre is more accurate than an inch, A thou is more accurate than a centimetre, and so on, and on.
More than likely they are metric since all Subaru Engines are built in Japan.
That is not true. A Fahrenheit degree (actually introduced by a Dutch scientist) is just over half a degree Celsius and so is more accurate.
#1:It is very simple to convert#2:It is more accurate than the Customary System
It can be more or less. An once (customary) is bigger than a gram (metric) but a pound (customary) is smaller than a kilogram (metric).
Electronic thermometers and standard thermometers are equally accurate. In terms of reliability, the standard thermometer wins. Why? Because it doesn't have any batteries to go dead.
According to LoveToKnow.com -- "In 1907, the Fourth General Conference on Weights and Measures - an international organization responsible for metric measurement standardization consisting today of more than 70 member nations - adopted the carat as the official metric measurement for gemstone weights." This standard was adopted, because the previous standard -- carob seeds -- were not predictably standard or uniform.
Revised standard sales can be calculated by dividing the amount of sales over a given length of time. This is a more accurate way to calcuating sales rather than a projection.
There's the meter stick which measures in metric rather than standard (imperial).

A metric conversion calculator can make the comparison between metric and U.S. Standard units much easier to understand and much faster than doing the work by hand.
Slightly more than 720,461 barrels. A single metric ton = 1,000kg. So in 100,000 metric tons there are 100,000,000kg (one-hundred million.) A standard barrel of oil weighs 138.8kg. (See link) So, 100,000,000 / 138.8 = 720,461.095 barrels.
