  • uhh its really simple to divide with the metric

    100/3=33.3 repeating (other number 66.6)

    100/6=16.6

    and all the other numbers are easy too, most of this is just something you know by daily life

  • Typical america. Always lagging behind...Still using the imperial system, still consuming oil like there is no tomorrow, still poluting like hell, still making big-ass cars that nobody wants, still have to pay thousands of dollar for medical care even if you're seriously injured.

  • @77tubuck Carter didn't do shit. The US is still largely imperial like you guys.

    I don't care about Canada. I'm an American.

    Also, because of the rate of the US metrication population, the cost of keeping imperial in the US, it is likely that we'll switch by the end of 2019. You can use imperial if you want.

    My foot is 27 cm long.

  • @mainchow10 Well you can use metric if you want to. Just because I use imperial don't let that stop you. Whats the problem? I though president Carter already introduced the metric system.

  • @77tubuck I hope the US does.

  • 5 years have passed and you still use gallons and inches. WTF.

  • If it wasn't for Ronald Reagan (aka douchebag), we would've gone metric.

  • @captainparady lol...

  • Bellingham Wa is going Metric in two weeks!

  • @captainparady metric is base 10, which is the number all modern maths are based on. It's easier to calculate and convert units in metric, let's say I want to know how many meters it is from my house to my school, I know it's exactly 3 kilometers and exactly 1,000 meters are in a kilometer (there are also megameters which are 1,000 kilometers and gigameters which are 1,000 megameters and so on and so on). So I know that by multiplying the number of kilometers by 1,000 I know how many meters it

  • 12 is better for trade
