minus-squareWanderer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·29 days agoI don’t understand. Aren’t fractions better than decimals for algerba? Like 22/7 is better than 3.14 when it comes to pi for example. We always got taught to do everything as fractions and then convert to units at the last possible moment to reduce errors in rounding.
