Metric is the beans for calculations, even I use it for sausage recipes.
Based on 10 pound batches.
Then if I have 18 pounds of meat, 1.8 x everything in grams is easy.
But for actual use, it depends.
53'x 102" or 40 x 52 building?
You gotta learn to think in something, feet and inches are much better for building.
2x4 is easy. 50 x 100?
Except instead of 11/2×3 1/2
37.5×87.5?
Easy of calculation isn't the same as practice use.
