1. **State the problem:** Emil rides a Ferris wheel with a radius of 28 meters, which completes 3 full rotations. We need to find the total distance Emil travels on the ride, rounded to 1 decimal place.
2. **Formula used:** The distance traveled along the circumference of a circle is given by the formula for the circumference:
$$C = 2\pi r$$
where $r$ is the radius of the circle.
3. **Calculate the circumference:**
$$C = 2 \times \pi \times 28 = 56\pi$$ meters.
4. **Calculate total distance for 3 rotations:**
Since Emil completes 3 full rotations, the total distance traveled is:
$$D = 3 \times 56\pi = 168\pi$$ meters.
5. **Evaluate the numerical value:**
Using $\pi \approx 3.1416$,
$$D \approx 168 \times 3.1416 = 527.7872$$ meters.
6. **Round to 1 decimal place:**
$$D \approx 527.8$$ meters.
**Final answer:** Emil travels approximately **527.8 meters** on the Ferris wheel ride.
