    What if you need to represent something between 1/10th and 2/10ths without misrepresenting your precision?

    Fractional measurements are way better for indicating precision than decimal. With decimal precision can only be increased or decreased by a power of 10, whereas fractional can be any level of precision - just represent the precision in the denominator.
