I think you are referring to scientific notation in which you read numbers multiplied by ten and to the power of whatever.
Example: You can write 1,000,000.0, or you can write 1.0 x 10 to the sixth power
or for numbers with a value less than 1
Example: You can write 0.000001, or you can write 1.0 x 10 to the negative sixth power
Either way you write it the number is the same.
The metric system is used by scientists because it is based on factors of ten. This makes it easy to convert from one unit of measurement to another.

Everything is based on ten. Uniform unit prefixes all based on a meter.
A step is not a uniform unit of measurement. Therefore, the two units are incompatible.
A decimal number is a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. Measurement units in the metric system are related to one another by multiples of powers of ten (or 1000).
Decimal or Denary.

Because it is best. It is easiest (if you use a base ten counting system) to convert and compare.
A decametre is a unit of measurement equal to ten metres.
A decimeter is a unit of measurement that is equivalent to ten centimeters.
The metric system
SI unis are an International System of Units, a system of physical measurement units based on the metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, candela, and mole. They come with a set of prefixes which indicate multiplication or division by a power of ten.
Deca is used to stand for the number ten. For instance, when referring to weight, a decagram is a metric unit of measurement that is equivalent to ten grams. However, in geometry a decagram is a polygon with ten sides.
Metric
No it is not. It is the metric system invented by the French which based on powers of ten. And it is the Empirical system, not the English system.
