Quantitative measurements are used, because science and medicine rely on exactly that, quantities. The other option would be qualitative measurements (large, small, good, bad, etc), and since that wouldn't allow science or medicine to operate with any precision, quantitative measurements are used.
The metric system is used because the exchange of information across scientists and doctors around the world is important to progress in these fields. Since there are about 20 times as many people in the world who use the metric system compared to English units, scientists and doctors in the US use the more common and easily understood system.
The world system of measurements units is based on the metric system (SI).
English and Metric
The metric system is a basis for measurements. It has no shape.
metric
Do you mean, why is metric the only system used in science, or why is science the only place you use metric? Metric is used in science because it is the only recognized international standard system of measurements. Even units not in the metric system, like inches or pounds are legally defined in terms of metric measurements (an inch is officially 0.0254 metres). Scientists use the metric, or as they call it SI, system to avoid confusion when sharing information, Nasa'a mars rover crashed because one American company built their components us non-metric units. Also metric is easier to understand,learn and use. Science isn't the only place metric is used it is the only system of measure for almost the whole world, with only Liberia, Myanmar(Burma), and U.S.A using an alternative. If you haven't seen it outside of a laboratory you're probably not looking, it's everywhere.
It is a more logical system, where everything is divisible by 10. With other units, everything is arbitrary.
i think they use metric system because it is easier to know.
Almost all scientists use metric units for scientific measurements.
The world system of measurements units is based on the metric system (SI).
Science measurements use the metric system and the Celsius temperature scale is used for most measurements. The Kelvin scale is also used for measurements approaching absolute zero.
what is a thickness of a dime in metric measurements?
All science uses the metric system for measurements. Meters instead of feet, centimeters instead of inches. A person has to learn the "language" of science.
why was metric measurements inveted
No
Metric measurements use powers of 10 to create larger and smaller units.
