How do you convert pounds into kg?
That's helpful. Can you explain why there are different measurement systems in the world?
There are different measurement systems in the world because historically different cultures and countries developed their own systems of measurement. The metric system, which is used in most of the world, was developed in France in the late 18th century and is based on units of ten. The imperial system, which is used primarily in the United Kingdom and United States, was developed over centuries and has its roots in ancient Roman and medieval English measurements.
