Would you weigh a truck with grams or kilograms?

Answer 1

Kilograms, gram's would be to large of a number and you should always try to have the smallest number possible, that way when you hare your numbers with other people this makes it easier for people to remember the numbers, because they don't have this extremely large number for them to remember. Now depending on who your sharing your information with, I suggest that if your sharing with people that are not scientist or people that send their information outside of the country, use your native conversion's. (For example: In the U.S.A use pounds not kilograms that's not what we use.)
