Well metric does not have to round, it can very easily get more accurate without having to pull out a calculator and mess with fractions. It is not practical to use fractions and have decimals. Why not just use one to begin with? What if you need to convert to bigger or smaller units? You are guaranteed to lose accuracy.
Not exactly, since no measuring tape or ruler is metric will handle fine fractional measurement like 33.333 how is it more accurate? Second you do not need a calculator to mess with fractions, I use fraction every single day at work, and have no calculator. This brings me to the assumption metric countries are so poor at math they have to dumb it down because no one could calculate math unless it was in divisions of ten. This is almost proven by the fact you kept trying to use standard measurement as decimal, most likely meaning you are unable to calculate fractions.
