What are the two standard of measurements?
The English system and the metric system.
What are the similarities of the standard and metric measurements?
Please note that the metric system is the world-wide standard. If by "standard" you mean the Imperial system (the system commonly used in the USA), the similarities are that the systems are designed to measure, and that they both have units to measure the same type of thing, for example length/distance, area, volume, temperature, etc.
What is the difference of english system to metric system?
The english system is the metric system. There is no difference.
What advantages does the metric system have over the English method of measurement?
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 are the costumary measurements?
They are the U.S. measurements. Instead of the Metric system that uses meters, the Customary system uses feet and inches.
