Metric vs. Imperial Systems
Why do we have different systems?
• **The Metric System:** Used by 95% of the world. It is based on the number 10 (e.g., 100cm = 1m, 1000m = 1km).
• **The Imperial System:** Used primarily in the United States, Liberia, and Myanmar. It uses historic standards like the "Foot" (originally based on the length of a human foot).
