ahhhhhhhh!! by thomas gosney imperial and metric measurements
TRANSCRIPT
AFTER THE WAR• When the war ended America stuck with imperial measurements, however, us Brits made
the decision to change. We did that in 1965. however, we aren’t truly metric, road signs, for example, they are in miles and yards with speeds in mph not kph, and also milk, beer, and cider still come in pints.
WHY WE SWITCHED• It is easy to see why us Brits switched. As the metric system is all nice easy rounded
numbers like 100, whereas the imperial system is all so many of this fit in to this and so many of that fit into that. I’m not trying to put the imperial system in a bad light but it is so much harder than metric.
Got it! Got
it!!
NOW FOR THE NOT SO INTERESTING BIT• Here are the two different types of measuring.
Here are the different types of weight:• Ounce• Pound• Stone• Ton
• Gram• Kilogram• tonne
Here are the different types of volume:• Fluid ounce• Pint• gallon
