THE METRIC SYSTEM The metric system is widely used in science to measure length (meters), weight (grams), and capacity (liters). Round each decimal to the nearest hundredth. a. $1 \mathrm{ft}$ is 0.3048 meter. b. $1 \mathrm{mi}$ is $1,609.344$ meters. c. 116 is 453.59237 grams. d. 1 gal is 3.785306 liters.
