You use base-12 telling time right? Technically base-24 or base-60, but it's the same concept. Dividing things into whole numbers is easier mental math. I can say a quarter after 4 have you'll know what that means a lot faster than if I said 3 1/4 meters in cm, for example.
I agree with the benefits of a base 12 system, but I'm saying the situations where the imperial system can actually leverage that to be easier to use than the metric system are very limited. You can pick out examples where it's true, but there's cases where it goes the other way, and a lot of the time you won't get round numbers when you divide by 3 in either system.

Fair enough
