Meanwhile, the benefit of a system like metric is decimals rather than fractions. It is trivial to change the resolution of a measure or number.
E.G.
The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second.
The speed of light is 299,792.458 KM per second.
The speed of light is about 300 M meters per second.
