Question

How was the English system of measurement created?

Answer 1

Imperial units, also called the British Imperial System, units of measurement of the British Imperial System, the traditional system of weights and measures used officially in Great Britain from 1824 until the adoption of the metric system beginning in 1965.

Complete answer:
English units are the units of measurement used all around the world especially in England until 1826 after that it was replaced by the Imperial unit system. First let us know why the measurement is necessary and how we make the measurement system. So if we see in our day to day life if we want to know how much distance we have walked today then we have no idea if we don’t have any standards now here the role of measurement comes now let us assume that a certain distance is one meter than we comparing with the standard one meter we can tell how much meter we have traveled today. The implications for all things like mass and time etc. so in the past in the development time of English system of measurement various standards were applied to English units at different times, in different places , and for different applications.

Note:
Conversion Ratio (or Unit Factor): While the Metric System simply moves the decimal point to convert between its measurements' prefixes, the English System requires a conversion ratio (or unit factor) to move between measurements. In the Metric System, the prefix itself gives the needed conversion ratio.
