Howdy, iam Jody Clarke, Enjoy the rest of your day.
Well, it’s no secret that not all countries use the metric system. In fact, there are only three countries in the world that don’t - Liberia, Myanmar and the United States. Talk about being behind the times! It’s like they’re stuck in a time warp or something. Still, it’s not all bad news; many of these countries have adopted some form of metric measurement for certain things. Whoa! That’s progress!
What Countries Don’T Use The Metric System? [Solved]
Well, only three countries are still hangin’ on to the imperial system - the U.S., Liberia and Myanmar. It’s a system that uses measurements for distances, weight, height or area that can be traced back to body parts or everyday items. Crazy, right?
United States: The United States is one of the few countries in the world that does not use the metric system for its customary units of measurement. Instead, it uses a combination of customary and imperial units, such as feet, inches, pounds, and gallons.
Liberia: Liberia is another country that does not use the metric system for its customary units of measurement. It uses a combination of US customary and imperial units such as feet, inches, pounds and gallons.
Myanmar: Myanmar is yet another country that does not use the metric system for its customary units of measurement. It uses a combination of traditional Burmese measurements such as ticals (a unit equivalent to 1/16th of an ounce) and viss (a unit equivalent to 1/64th of a pound).
India: India is one more country that does not use the metric system for its customary units of measurement. It uses a combination of traditional Indian measurements such as seers (a unit equivalent to 1/4th kilogram) and bharas (a unit equivalent to 2 kilograms).
5 Saudi Arabia: Saudi Arabia also does not use the metric system for its customary units of measurement; instead it uses traditional Arabian measurements such as ardeb (a unit equivalent to approximately 4 liters) and ratl (a unit equivalent to approximately 500 grams).
Well, in some countries they don’t use the metric system - it’s pretty unusual. In the US, for example, they still use imperial measurements like feet and inches. It’s kinda weird if you ask me! But hey, each to their own I guess.
