# It's just plain simpler to use a system based on the number 10. # The metric system is part of the International Standards system. It's used in science, as to be able to standardize calculations. # Apart from the USA, the whole world has implemented the metric system for international trade purposes.
Most countries in the world have now converted to using the metric system. This is because it is easier to trade and exchange goods when most people use the same units for measuring size and weight and also because the metric system is decimal (units of 10) rather than involving counting to a mixture of bases (16ozs in a pound 14 pounds in a stone, 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard....all these are much more difficult to learn.
Every country on Earth has officially adopted the metric (SI) system formanufacturing and trade, with only three holdouts: Liberia, Burma,and the USA.
The metric system was officially adopted in England in the 1960s. The Weights and Measures Act of 1963 established the metric system as the official system for trade and commerce in the country.
Almost all organisations.Scientists across the world use the metric system. Most international trade is based on it.

The metric system was officially adopted in the Philippines in 1861, during the Spanish colonial era. It was implemented to standardize measurements and promote trade and communication with other countries that were using the metric system. Today, the metric system is widely used in the Philippines for all official purposes and in everyday life.

The use of the metric system was made legal as a system of measurement in the US in 1866. The system was officially adopted by the federal government in 1975 for use in the military and government agencies, and as preferred system for trade and commerce.
Yes, Australia uses the metric system for most measurements including length, weight, and volume. This system is officially adopted in Australia for consistency and ease of communication in science, trade, and everyday life.
The Metric Conversion Act of 1975 was the legislation that made the metric system legal in the United States. The act aimed to encourage the voluntary adoption of the metric system in business and everyday life.
