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.
