    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

        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.

        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?
