It is unfortunate that you do not understand the metric system, since the metric system is inherently more simple than the system you are currently using. The metric system is based off of powers of ten. You take a standard unit, such as the meter or gram, and add prefixes accordingly to express a manifold of the standard amount. An interesting note is that units, such as the meter, are based off absolute quantities. For example, the meter is now defined as the exact distance the speed of light travels in a certain amount of time, while the foot is, well, is based off of the length of your foot.

The saying I remember is:
King (Kilo)
Henry (Hecto)
Died (Deca)
Belly-up (Basic-units, for example grams)
Drinking (Deci)
Chocolate (Centi)
Milk (Milli)
Stupid, I know, but it works!
There is no simple way since there are very many different units with very many different conversion factors. For example:
- 2 pints in a quart
- 3 feet in a yard
- 4 quarts in a gallon
- 6 feet in a fathom
- 8 furlongs in a mile
- 9 square feet in a square yard
- 12 inches in a foot
- 14 pounds in a stone
- 16 ounces in a pound
That is just for starters! And that is why most of the rest of the world, being more sensible, adopted the metric system which is based mainly on multiples of 10 (and powers of 10).

What is a way to remember volume units?
One way to remember volume units is to remember the acronym "GQT", which stands for Gallon, Quart, Pint. This order represents the hierarchy of common volume units in the US customary system.
A system of measurement used in the us?
As I remember from grade school back in the 1960's I believe it was called: "Units and Standards" We refer to the U.S. measurement system today as the "Standard Measurement," "US Standard," "English Units," "US Customary Units," and "Imperial Units."
Why is the metric system the best way to measure?
it is a base 10 measurement system.
How are metric and customary similar?
Metric and customary systems are both systems of measurement used to quantify physical quantities such as length, weight, and volume. They both have units for common measurements like meters for length and kilograms for weight. However, they differ in the specific units used and their conversion factors.
Are inches used in the international system of units?
No, Inches are part of the American "Customary" system...Metric is way easier to use but America refuses
Is there a way to remember is customary units of measurement?

Is the meter the worldwide system of measurement?
In a way yes, it is.
What is the English way of measurement?

Why the metric system called a decimal system of measurement?
A decimal number is a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. Measurement units in the metric system are related to one another by multiples of powers of ten (or 1000).
Are inches used in the international system of units?
No, Inches are part of the American "Customary" system...Metric is way easier to use but America refuses
Construct a roadmap for designing a performance measurement system?
Executives oftentimes construct roadmaps for designing a performance measurement system. These systems provide a way of assessing employee performance and management styles.
What is the system to decimal system from the measurement whose units are based on certain physical standards and are scaled on multiples of 10?

What does the customary system measure?
U.S. customary is a system of units that measures the same things that the SI (Systeme International) system of units measure. U.S. Customary is different though, in the way it is derived. The SI system is based on 6 basic concepts, Mass (kg), Time (s), Length (m), Temperature (K), Luminous Intensity(lm), and Electric Current (A). Because mass does not change, SI is considered an absolute system. U.S. customary is based on the pound, which is a unit of force, similar to the Newton in SI units. Because force can change depending on various conditions, U.S. Customary is considered a derived system of measurements. For example, the U.S. Customary unit for mass is the slug. A slug is defined as the amount of mass that can be accelerated at 1ft/s2 by 1 lb. of force. A Newton on the other hand is defined in terms of kilograms, meters, and seconds. This is why if you weigh 150 lb., your mass is only 4.66 slugs or 68.0 kg, and therefore, 667.08 Newtons.
