Why is it better to calculate the constant each time?
LOL. For much the same reason you want carpenters fractions. Humans find them easier.

Carpenter's fractions may be easier for those habituated in their use, but I find the metric system much easier to use. It seems that most of the world, except the U.S. and the U.K., find the metric system easier to us. I think that even the U.K. may be further along than the U. S., as far as adopting the metric system.
