1. Would a change from our current imperial system of measurement to the metric system be beneficial to the United States? Why or why not?

2. What challenges would the United States face if we did switch from our current imperial system of measurement to the metric system? Please discuss with details and supporting evidence.

3. Identify one specific job that requires frequent measuring such as a chef, architect, or other profession. Analyze how a change from the imperial system that we use now to the metric system would impact their job. Be specific. Also address these three key points:

a. How would people in this job need to communicate differently?
