Hi Marka,
The metric system is based on 10s.
The Imperial system is not based on 10s. For example, there are 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard, and 1,760 yard in a mile, etc.
Typically inches are broken in halves, then quarters, then eights, the sixteenths, then thirty-seconds, etc.
Good luck,
Paul
