The metric system is 10 based, which makes it trivial to measure and convert: 1000mm = 100cm = 1m. This becomes even more important when you are talking about volume or any ^3 dimension.
I have lived in the US for 15 years and even today, I'm unable to convert fl oz. to any kind of mass measure without getting a headache along the way.
