What is the problem that may arise if standard unit are not use?

If standard units of measurements are not used people might become confused. For example, if I ask you to weigh an ounce of something, do I mean a fluid ounce, or an actual ounce in weight or maybe even a troy ounce? Using a standard means such confusion won't happen.
An example of something that went wrong:
A very expensive robot was trashed because it crashed on Mars. One NASA scientist had used Imperial measurements, while the rest of the team used the metric system (which is standard in science). The result? Millions of wasted dollars and a lot of disappointed people.
Side note:
The US measurement units can be fine as a standard as long as it is agreed upon in advance. Personally, I prefer metric units. In the kitchen, I am baffled by the idea of "weighing" flour per cup because the actual mass of flour you're using is different than the mass of sugar in that same cup. A cup measures volume and by extend you're introducing all sorts of variables, like the packing of your flour. If you want to see how many percent of an ingredient is in a recipe as is often required in the food industry, metric units make things a lot easier. Someone who is using cups, spoons, and ounces needs to do a lot of additional calculations and conversions to find out their percentages.

Why is it sometimes better to measure an object with an inch ruler than with a nonstandard unit?
Because other people may have no idea how big the non-standard unit is. If I said than my monitor was six fingers tall, how big is that? It is, of course, better to use an international standard unit such as the centimetre or metre, but some countries are still stuck with inches.
Does the amount of freon vary in different units?
The amount of refrigerant a unit contains depends on the size of the unit. That is the standard charge but the charge after the system is installed may be more or less. The system charge depends on the size of the refrigerant lines, the length of the lines, and the size of the unit.
What is the meaning of standard unit in relation to measurement?
A unit for a measurement is what you are measuring in terms of. Length, for example, can be measured in millimetres, centimetres, inches, feet, yard, metres, chains, furlongs, kilometres, miles, etc. [plus many smaller, intermediate and bigger units.] A standard unit is one whose size is internationally agreed. The basic units of the SI system are: meter for length, kilogram for mass and second for time. There are standard units for most characteristics that you may wish to measure: speed, force, temperature, conductivity etc.

How many hours in 5 kilometer's?
This problem does not have an answer. This is because a kilometer is a unit of distance and an hour is a unit of time. You might mean "How many hours does it take to walk 5 km?" , however that is just a guess of what you may mean, but from your question I can only say that it does not have an answer/solution.

How can SI unit overcome if problems that may arise if standard unit are not used?
2.Cause confusion and disagreement among people that are using different units of measurement. E.g. one people use arm span to measure a length of a cloth and another is using metre(m) so there will confusing and misunderstanding between them. 3.Some of the problems that may arise if Standard International (SI) units are not used include conflict or discrepancies in data collection since there is no standard measurement, conflicting results amongst the various research personalities as well as inaccurate representation. These are basically the derived units that are mostly expressed in terms of the base units.
