Let's imagine
a person from another country or planet
wanted to know how you could make the
old "inch-pound non-system" easy to understand by
demonstrating how Length,
Liquid
and Weight MIGHT relate to each other in that
archaic method of
measurement. Then someone
suggested...
Imagine
then, IF you
could take the length of a yard and divide it by exactly
ten equal parts... so we can make a cube container with
those same
equal sides to hold water...
...then by some
strange course of events imagine again IF we could fill that cube
container with water AND that cube contained the liquid of exactly
1 quart which, when placed on a scale weighed exactly
1 pound". "You'd likely
that's easy!
Let's go party!" WRONG!
NOTHING LOGISTICALLY RELATES in such
an outdated non-system of inches,
pounds, gallons,
firkens, knoginheads or even barleycorns!
Just a lot of TIME CONSUMING complicated
figures and fractions to memorize.
TRY TO CALCULATE in the "INCH-POUND SYSTEM" Is the solid of 16 oz. in bag of nuts
the same as 16 oz. of liquid in can of juice? OR
Try to add up in your head the total of
2/3+3/8+3/5 of an inch
How about going shopping and trying to determine
the best buy...
1-17
oz. can of a product for 63 cents,
or 2-14.5 oz. cans for $1.10
or maybe 3-16
oz. cans for $1.49. And "lb" for
pound?
Come on
now... Animals Are in Pounds! How about 3 feet in a yard... 12 inches in a foot?
A foot is nowhere
near the length of
an average person's foot and blah, blah, blah.
The American gallon originated as being the amount of
wine in the British "Queen Ann's Wine Gallon". What's with that?
The
British abandoned
that long ago!

KNOW
THAT?
you can divide
1 meter
by exactly
10 equal parts
(10 cm each side)
then make
a cube (1000 cm³) of it to fill
with
water
and you will find that it contains
exactly
1 L (1 litre)
(1000 mL)
of water
and
is the mass
of exactly
1
kg (1 kilogram) (1000 g).
