metrication

Metrication is the process of transitioning from traditional measurement systems (like inches, pounds, and gallons) to the metric system, which uses meters, kilograms, and liters. The metric system is based on units that are decimal-based, making calculations simpler and more consistent. It is widely used around the world for scientific, commercial, and everyday measurements. Countries that have adopted metrication have found it improves clarity and accuracy in trade, education, and international communication, facilitating easier global interactions and understanding.
