Best Answer

The metric system is not exactly equivalent to any other system, but there are units of measurement for anything that you may wish to measure. If you are accustomed to weighing things in pounds, you have the option of weighing them in kilograms instead. If you are accustomed to measuring length in feet, you have the option of measuring length in meters instead. You may be used to degrees Fahrenheit but you can use degrees Celsius instead.
