Then two years later in 2012, The eve of 2013, a petition was created to adopt the metric system, and finally in 2013 Karl Rhoads introduced Bill HB36 that would make the metric system mandatory in the state of Hawaii.

Since it is designed to have as little units as possible. So when you are weighing apples you have two options grams and kilograms grams are small and kilograms are quite large. You don't have an option to use something in between those too.https://www.anacreofpints.com/pros-cons-metric-system/ The imperial system is to ingrained with us to change to the metric system now. While analyzing if we should change to the metric system we learned that most schools already use the metric system in their Science and Math programs then when they use the imperial system they understand that as well making it so that students can understand both imperial and metric systems.https://www.chsglobe.com/36929/commentary/pro-con-the-metric-system/]]> 2019-09-27 17:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie_lathrop13/iv8ry7tmsh3q/wish/390685434 Mady madisyn_denault https://padlet.com/stephanie_lathrop13/iv8ry7tmsh3q/wish/390685450 The French are actually responsible for creating the metric system. They  have been credited a lot for creating the metric system. Gabriel Mouton was the main founder of the metric system, but other french citizens helped add on. They adopted the system in 1797, but after over a century people were question its purposes. The people were not using the system and Gabriel then also started to question the intents. But the metric system is still used now in science class mostly, but other places too.  The system was designed to be simple, so in all there only 7 base units in the system.

For students in higher grades, it might be hard to relearn all measurements. Even for adults, who sometimes use the metric system, it could cause potential problems in the business world. Also, The metric system does not work well with fractions, so teaching methods would have to change. But if we began using the metric system, conversions would be simple, and the prefixes help identify each unit. The U.S would finally be able to better communicate scientifically with the rest of the world.

One doesn’t have to use 1 kilogram or kg. One can use grams and be as precise as one has to be. If the unit gram is not impeccably accurate and situation warrants more precision then one can use milligrams. The metric system can allow units to go as high and as low if needed.

France refined a measurement system, calling it the metric system in the late 1700s. England and America started to use this.

The only this that is easier with the US system would be the fractions piece of it. One advantage of the Metric system is that you could change a meter into a larger metric unit. It is also easier because our computer hard drives, memory, are all measured in metric units. It is also easier to lean because in all the words they have the same root word.

Metric units increase or decrease in multiples of 10. The saying King Henry Doesn't Usually Drink Chocolate Milk. 
Similarly, there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter, so a centimeter is one-hundredth of a meter, and there are 1000 milliliters in a liter, so a milliliter is one-thousandth of a liter. The U.S. system doesn't use multiples of 10, so it's more difficult to convert units. The only downside with the metric system is fractions.
