Measurement systems differ globally, often leading to confusion in trade, education, and daily activities. While the United States primarily uses the Imperial System, Uzbekistan follows the Metric System, which is the international standard. The Imperial System includes units such as inches, feet, pounds, and gallons, whereas the Metric System relies on meters, kilograms, and liters, making conversions simpler due to its decimal-based structure. This article examines the historical background, key differences, and the impact of these measurement systems on commerce, education, and daily life. Understanding both systems is crucial in an increasingly interconnected world.
