Answer;

-Reduce the chance of errors in correspondence

-Easier to use for converting between units while measuring

-Make communication easier between scientists comparing data

Step-by-step explanation;

-The metric system is a system that is based on joining one of a series of prefixes, including kilo-, hecto-, deka-, deci-, centi-, and milli-, with a base unit of measurement, such as meter, liter, or gram.

-Since the metric system is a decimal system of weights and measures it is easy to convert between units simply by multiplying or dividing by 10, 100, 1000, etc.

-It is an alternative system of measurement used in most countries, as well as in the United States.
