There really is no problem created from not using standard measurements. The only problem that could arise is confusion between people or miscalculations when substituting in formulas.

Why are standard unit used in measurement?

Because measurement would have no meaning, unless we agree what we are measuring by. If I say that it takes 14 BGs to fill an autograft- we need to agree what a BG is, and what an autograft is, or it is meaningless. If you say that a yard is about so big, and I say that it is smaller... do you not see the problem here? Standard units are necessary, or we are talking about different things, entirely. If I count to ten, but you skip 9 and go to 11, we are talking about different things. Thus, we have a standard model of math, and a standard model (several to choose from) of measurements. The bottom line answer is this: so we are talking about the same thing.

What was the problem in using the hand or the foot for measuring length in the olden days?

Not all people have hands and feet of the same size. As a standard, this sucks.


Why aren't standard English measurement used in science?

Because they are non-rational, obsolete, it is a problem to obtain a physical standard for UK units, they are stupid, they are not understanded in other countries, they are sources of confusion and it is difficult to work with these units etc.


Which unit of measurement would you use to measure length?

If your measuring it for a science class then you should use a metric measurement, in this case centimeters. If its for a math problem then measure it in whatever units that were given to you in the original problem to make conversions easier. If its for anything else then just use your best judgement.


How do metric system develop?

In the earlier times, there was no unit to measure the distance and thus there was no symmetry. To fight this problem, in 1790, french developed a standard unit of measurement called the metric system.


How many tbsp are in one pound?

Well, we have a problem here. It depends on the density of what you are measuring. See, a tablespoon of rice will weigh far less than a table spoon of uranium. Tablespoons are a measurement of volume, while pounds are a measure of mass. The conversion of one to the other will require far more knowledge of what you are measuring.


What is the true measurement of 2x4x8?

The real measurement for 2 by 4 by 8 is 64. This is a math problem.


How critical is the role of fractions in baking?

Considering that all measuring devices have 1/2, 1/3, etc. marks on them, almost zero. It's just measurement, not mathematical problem solving. Unless, of course, you're making half of the recipe--in which case you still need to know more about the system of measurement than the math behind it.


What is the Venturi tube problem and how can it be solved effectively?

The Venturi tube problem refers to the challenge of accurately measuring fluid flow in a Venturi tube due to pressure losses and inaccuracies. This can be solved effectively by calibrating the tube, ensuring proper installation, and using advanced flow measurement techniques such as ultrasonic or electromagnetic flow meters.


What does 50000 to 1 ratio mean on a HDTV?

That is used as the contrast ratio measurement. It's designed to measure the the different levels between white and black. Generally the higher the number the better the black levels that the TV can displayed. The problem with this number is that there is no industry standard for measuring this meaning it is only useful when comparing TV's within the same brand. i.e. Samsung to Samsung, Sony to Sony.For the most part that number can be ignored


What is the current status of research on the Hubble tension problem and what are the leading theories attempting to resolve this discrepancy in the measurement of the Hubble constant?

Research on the Hubble tension problem is ongoing, with scientists working to understand the discrepancy in the measurement of the Hubble constant. Leading theories to resolve this issue include the possibility of new physics beyond the standard model, variations in the properties of dark energy, and the effects of early universe processes.
