  1. The ancient system of weights and measures was based on units of 6 snd 60 instead of the metric units of 10. The old system made sense because it is easier to do division because 60 is evenly divisable by 2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20 and 30. It is interesting to note that the metric system was used to change the measurement of time. Also, geometry, trigonometry and various navigational systems still use the old systems.
