Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
Decimal ≠ metric.
" = inch
Inches ≠ metric.
1/2 inch = .5 inch.
One and a half inches = 1.5 inch, and three and a half inches = 3.5 inches.
Since you don't know the difference between a decimal and the metric system...
“Decimal” and “Fraction” are two different representations for rational numbers. Fractions are expressed as a division of two numbers or one number over another. The number in the top is called the numerator, and the number in the bottom is called the denominator. The denominator should be a non-zero integer, while the numerator can be any integer.
A decimal number has two parts separated by a decimal point. Some fractions have finite decimal number representation while some have not. For example, when we consider the decimal representation of 1/3, it is an infinite decimal, i.e. .333333 ... Number 3 repeats forever. These kinds of decimals are called recurring decimals.
However, fractions like 1/2 have a finite number representation, which is .5
