Frequently Asked Questions
Why do US and metric measurements differ so much?
Imperial units (feet, miles, inches) originated from historical body- and land-based measurements, while the metric system was designed later around powers of 10 for consistency — the two systems weren't built to align neatly, which is why conversions involve non-round numbers.
