      Okay but what's 1/2 of a foot?

      • 6 inches, also, okay is not a word. O.K. is Boston slang meaning 'oll korrect'

      1/8?

      • 1/2 of 1/4 = 1 1/2 inches

      1/5

      • Literally the only one metric wins on. And the 1/10, I guess

      3/7

      • Do this one in your head

      1/9

      • 1/3 of 1/3 = 4/3 or 1 1/3 inches.

      1/10

      • If we were a sane base-12 society, 1

      You're getting caught up on the precision and not the ease with which one can do the calculations

          It is the equivalent amount of time to do precise calculations because I own a calculator

              Sure, not if you are using a calculator, but my point was mental math is easier. You've yet to prove me wrong.

              No calculator, what is 1/9th of a meter?

                  1/10 would be 1.2 inches. I said metric had that beat.

                  It's like 3 am and I had like 10 comments coming after me because people got wound up over someone saying the foot is preferable to a meter. Honestly, feels like a lot of Europeans who haven't considered that their holy measuring system my not be absolutely perfect. I'm gonna be a bit snarky.

                  1/9 of a meter is a about 11.1 centimeters

                  True, but did you calculate that or memorize it? If you did calculate it, was it as easy as 12/3/3? If you didn't, do you know how to?

          As for your other arguments, I couldn't make sense of them so I ignored them. My comment proved my original point. No more to say.
