It would cost businesses tons of money to switch to the metric system. The American public have been apathetic, at best, to using metrics.

So what would be a plan for converting all of the United States to metric as opposed to

Answered by Ms. Sue
Many plans were tried, and the closest we came was to label some products, like foods, in both units.
