Eddie Woo: "Does anyone know that OLD system with inches and feet?" Americans: "Are we jokes to you!?"

[@IlValentino100]

Yes.

I love you sir I really need a person whose perspective towards mathematics is totally different and I found it. I loved those guys who looks the things differently.

[@DefeatYourself_DYS]

A great person doesn't do anything different but he does the things differently. HATS OFF TO YOU

1 hectare is abbreviated by ha because it means 100 are (hecto are). I am surprised you don't teach your students about the decametre (10 metre) and the hectometre (100 metre).

[@treyrmason]

Iemand Anders Those aren’t practically used. For nearly all applications, mm cm m and km do just fine. I completely understand why he initially left out decimeter until brought up by a student.

[@giabao576]

Well our schools do and they're mainly used to trick students who can't convert units well. Anyway, it's good to know about them.

[@tjf2939]

No one uses these

[@沈博智-x5y]

gotta be mindful that he is a teacher and he has to follow the syllabus. He has to make sure he teaches all the syllabus dot points to his students before the final Higher School Certificate exam. So, there won't be much time to teach non-trivial stuff like this.

[@Grimlock1979]

For a non-American, this is so weird to look at. Metric units are like second nature.

[@garrethutchington1663]

You're awesome! Keep up the great work!

[@msmmath87]

Good explanation sir👍

[@DepFromDiscord]

The lengths that I know on that list are: millimeter (1000th of a meter) centimeter (100th of a meter) decimeter (10th of a meter) meter (1 meter) dekameter (10 meters) Hectometer (100 meters) kilometer (1000 meters) He uses the metric system and he doesn’t know these. I’m Californian and y’all we use the imperial system. Smh.

The REAL most obsessed Julie of the arts Fan! Nobody cares about decametres, Hectometres or decimetres

[@murilosabino8364]

@@gandalf6751 As someone who is studying cartography and satellites, I disagree

[@treyrmason]

Do you seriously think he doesn’t know them? For that level of education, there’s no reason to get that granular. Nearly all applications do just fine with mm, cm, m, and km.

[@magnus6220]

@@henridohmen4937 yeah it's more of a fun fact, and are just there for consistency rather than practical use.

Deci = 1/10 of something Deca = 10 of something Kinda confusing tbh

[@Hoa_G_Pham]

And ounces in a pint, pints in a quart, quarts in a gallon, etc.... aren't confusing at all. A system based on powers of 10 is far easier to understand an convert compared to arbitrary numbers

[@matej_grega]

@@Hoa_G_Pham That's true but I've met many ppl who don't understand even the metric system. I'm surprised that they cannot learn that. They'd surely die if they had to learn the imperial system. To know the metric sysytem you just need to know some of the affixes (centi-, deca-, kilo-,...) and which ones are bigger or smaller.

[@Hoa_G_Pham]

@@matej_grega I absolutely agree. It's "confusing" because it's unfamiliar. However, once the prefixes become familiar, the best part is the same prefixes apply to every other units of measurement.

[@lukaskramer2950]

This is 2nd grade stuff, 7 year olds learn that. Who are these videos made for?

[@majan6267]

Für Amerikaner, die normalerweise das imperiale System benutzen.

[@fatemonkey]

majan We learn both systems from a young age...although we learn the imperial system as it’s used primarily in everyday life, we still only use the SI system for science and usually math.

[@masters.1000]

@@fatemonkey Normal people uses metric system for everything in most of the world. Only few countries insist in using that outdated system.
