The main advantage to using different units of measurement is so that many of you measurements are easier to use and calculate with. For example: If one is talking about comparing the sizes of pencils you would want to use Inches (or Centimeters if using the metric system) do to the fact that pencils are normally rather small. Using inches in this case makes sense because the numbers one would be using would most likely be less then 10. However, if one was comparing the distance between New York and Boston one would not want to use Inches or Centimeters due to the fact that you would have huge numbers. In this case one would want to use Miles or Kilometers do the numbers would be easier to use.
Between Boston and NY is approximately:
189.9 Miles
305.61 Kilometers
Those numbers are a lot easier to work with then their equivalents which are:
12,032,064 Inches
30,561,000 Centimeters
Hope this helped :)

What are the statements are true about measurements and units?
Statements that are true about measurements and units include: Measurements quantify the attributes of objects or phenomena using numerical values and units. Units provide a standardized way to express the magnitude of a measurement. Converting between different units involves using conversion factors to ensure accuracy and consistency in measurement.
Cubical units?
Using cubed.at the end of a measurement
How can if different units are used in measurement problems be overcome by using SI unit?
If you have different units, converting to any common unit will help. Of course, using standard units, i.e. SI units, is better than any other arbitrary unit. Also, SI units for a consistent set of units; as a result, you can often omit proportionality factors from formulae.
What is metric mesument?
Metric measurement is measurement made using units as defined under the metric system.
What is advantage using a standard unit in measuring?
Because it is easy to convert

Write the equivalent measurement?
Equivalent measurement are measurements of the same characteristic which are made using two different units. For example, 20 deg C and 68 deg F are equivalent measurements.
