| don't understand why some people use fractions instead of decimals.

It's pointless.



But, anyway. You gotta draw the line somewhere, or
else people will think you're being irrational. But
that is beside the point.

Why don’t people use fractions over decimals

Because they are pointless

My son was getting super stressed learning about decimals.

I guess you could say it was getting pretty tenths.

People who can't tell the difference between whole numbers and decimals....

....are missing the point.

My friend refuses to believe that working with decimals is easier than working with fractions.

He is missing the point.

Everyone likes to laugh at other people's inability with numbers. However, 45% of people consider themselves bad at math, every twentieth member of the population hates decimals, 1 out of 5 people can't do mental arithmetic and 3/10 can't do fractions without a calculator.

Yet only one in a hundred find this funny.

They stopped teaching decimals at the school for blind children

Nobody could see the point.

Why should you not argue with a decimal?

Because decimals always have a point.

When I was in school, I was obsessed with using fractions.

Finally I realized …decimals have a point.

Study shows that...

Study shows that if you say 'study shows that' before saying a statement, people are 56% more likely to believe you and this number can increase to 71% if you add a random statistical data and to further amp up this number to 82.3% you can include decimals in that number as well.

I used to hate maths when i was a kid

But as you get older you realise that decimals have a point

What do you get if you leave your math homework outside all night?

Dewy Decimals.
