Is 3/16" machine screw equivalent to a #10?

The exact same #10 tap might be marked 3/16 inch for Lowes or Home Depot since the carpenter and most of those others mentioned in my previous post rely on a inch tape measure.
We can buy end wrenches marked both 5/16" and 8MM, 3/16" and 10MM, 3/4" and 19MM. None of those are exactly the same either.


I don't doubt it, it's just weird to me. I've seen wrenches marked 5/16" on one side and 8mm on the other but never taps
