Isn’t the metric system more accurate.
I always wondered why brits in the movies would say ‘miles’ then kilometers were the word of the day. Catering to an American audience?
There hasn’t been a serious attempt to go metric with time. No one uses kiloseconds to replace hours or megaseconds to replace weeks. Some measurements seem to be bound up in human nature, not arbitrary and disposable.
No. Accuracy and precision is dependent on the equipment not the unit of measurements.
And the argument that it is based the tens units is weak at best. Usually, you stay with one unit, ex kg m, you don’t switch back and forth. And when does anyone have to multiply numbers that are only tens; it is always mixed digits,ex 123x847.
No, the metric system is not more accurate than the imperial system, nor is it less accurate. Accuracy refers to the ability to measure something to the measurement standard.
No, the road distance system used in the UK has never gone metric.
