Fractions still work the same way. The thing is Americans would think the 1/100 is bigger than 1/2, because 100>2. Doesn’t matter what unit you start with
Edit: I see what you’re saying with the names. But do you think the average american knows that a quarter pounder is less than a third pounder?
TIL fractions don’t exist in the metric system.
We wouldn’t normally say “I’d like a 18/100 kilogram burger”…
Yup for us its 250g vs 333g burgers. Or 0.25 vs 0.33kg
And these signs could have used ounces instead. But they didn’t. We had other units available. The units weren’t the issue
well they do, but since it’s metric it’s always 1/10 1/100 … and they have their own name so no math needed
