One reason a common measuring system is important relates to Importing and Exporting goods. A commodity may be sold at $10 per unit, so the size of the unit must be equal in both countries. Another area that a common measuring system would be important is in medicine. The system used to measure doses of a medicine must be universally equal, because the medicine may be used by someone in a country other than where it was manufactured.

Why is it important that we understand the metric system?
We have to communicate with other people so we need to use the same system, in all the world the most common is the metric system.
