Answer:
The importance of fractions, decimals, and percentages to our daily life is whenever there is not a “whole”. If there were no fractions, we couldn’t have halves or any other value that is not an integer. For example, we could say there are an X number of cakes, where X is an integer. But once we slice it open to eat it, we cannot express how “much” we have, because we need fractions. Let’s say one-third of the cakes is eaten and we have two-thirds left, but without fractions, we “cannot say one-third, cannot say two-thirds,” etc.
