[–] ptu@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 child) I’m from a country where we use metric and can’t think of anything that would normally be displayed as a fraction. Sure we know what half and third are, but they’re not used officially for anything permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] socsa@piefed.social -12 points 1 year ago (2 children) You've never had to halve a recipe before? Which is easier to do in your head, half of 78.862 milliliters or half of 1/3 cup? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 year ago No recipe lists 78.862 mm of anything. A recipe with metric units will default to gram amounts that are divisible by ten and thus infinitely easier to halve than "5/8 of your grandmother's good cake spoon" or any such folksy nonsense. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ptu@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago I would round it to 40ml. I have no idea how much 1/6th of a cup would be. Most of my cups are different sizes too so I wouldn’t know which on to trust. Also they are oddly shaped and not transparent making it a real challenge all and all. permalink fedilink source parent
