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.
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.

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.
