Why are standard units of measurements important to scientists?

Answer 1

If a scientist says, "I measured a horse, and it was 20 hands tall," then other scientists will know the exact height of the horse if hands is a standard unit of measurement. However, if the term hands can mean a lot of different things depending upon whose hands are used, then other scientists will not know the height of the horse as accurately.

Answer 2

So that people's observations can be compared to those of others. For instance, if someone reported that if they gave a horse a bit of barley and it ran very fast, that would hardly be useful if you wanted to find out how efficiently horses can use barley, would it?

Standardisation allows us to understand exactly how much of any given unit is used or reached, so that we can progress past "lots" and " a long way" and can be exact

Answer 3

The standred units of measurments are important to scientists because they are the same measurments that all scientist take to make sure that they all have the correct results.

because they use them
