Well yes obviously. Measuring systems are largely arbitrary. The nice thing about metric is that is has been (arbitrarily) designed so you basically only ever run into conversions by multiples of 10. You could most definitely redefine imperial measurements to work like that no problem. But they haven't been in the real world and that makes it a rather annoying system to work with since you run into weird fractions all the time when using it.
