1) all units are based on groups of 10. no need to remember that 12 in = 1 ft, 3 ft = 1 yd, 1,760 yds = 1 mile, etc). Its much easier to convert when you're only multiplying or dividing by 10, 1000, .01, etc
2) water is used as a basis for mass and volume. pure water at a volume of 1 mL weighs exactly 1 gram. the british (or US system depending on whom you want to blame for still using it), has few actual "standards" to base their measurements off of. there are a few ... for example the inch has now been standardized to be exactly 2.54 centimeters. (yes, that's true)
What else can I help you with?
Are all metric units also system international?
No, not all metric units are part of the International System of Units (SI). The SI is a coherent system of units derived from the metric system, but it is more specific and defined, and not all metric units are included in the SI.
What advantages does the metric system have over systems that you used previously?
The metric system is based on units of ten, which makes conversions between units easier. It is widely used internationally, promoting consistency in measurements. Additionally, the metric system is more intuitive and straightforward, making it easier to learn and use.
What is the advantage of the metric system of units over the british system?
The metric system is based on multiples of 10, and human math tends to work well with multiples of 10. Just think how easy it is to do 8 x 100 in your head, versus 8 x 193.This means you don't have to remember that there are 12 inches in a foot, or 5280 feet in a Also, water freezes at 0 and boils at 100. I have no idea how anyone developed a system where this is not the case.
In the metric system basic units are multiplied or divided by what amount to get larger or smaller units?
In the metric system basic units are multiplied or divided by 10 to get larger and smaller units

Is the metric system based on units of twelve?
No, the base for the metric system is ten.
Why did imperial units become metric units?
They didn't. Metric Units were developed independently of Imperial units. Originally each country, and sometimes different parts of the same country, had different sets of units. The Metric System was invented to solve the confusion of different units used in different parts of France. Gradually other countries adopted Metric and abolished their own units. The British Imperial units were one of the last to be abolished.

What advantage does the metric sisten provide over English units of measure?
Mainly that it is an international standard. Also, calculations are easier in the metric system, because of the multiples based on powers of 10.
