What is the chief advantage of the metric system over the English system?
Is that in goes in factors of 10. 1,000m=1k. English is all screwed up. 5280=1 mile.

The English system is based on arbitrary numbers and measurements, such as 12, 36, and 5,280. The Metric system - every aspect of it - is based on even multiples of ten, both going upward, and going downward. Just ten. Nothing else.
What advantage does the metric sisten provide over English units of measure?
Mainly that it is an international standard. Also, calculations are easier in the metric system, because of the multiples based on powers of 10.
Why do scientists prefer Metric units over the English System?
Apart from a couple of less advanced countries and (including?!) the US, all countries use the metric system. Since it is based on multiples of tens, calculations are simpler. Also, there are simpler links between measures for different attributes, for example between mass and volume.
What measuring system does US use?
The us is the only country that uses the complicated system of cups and gallon, inches, and feet. Brazil, along with almost all the other countries on this planet use the metric system.
