No, you are completely wrong....
Half of all people understand fractions, half of all people do not not understand fractions, and a third of people say they understand fractions.

It's not possible for seven fifths of the people to understand fractions. The total population in only five fifths.
If you mean 5/7th of the population, then it's possible. But I don't know if it's true. It is known that the more people use and relay on calculators and computers the more less fluent they are becoming with their maths.

No because 7/5 of all people would be 140% of all people which is impossible.

Yes, and the other 12/5 are thinking you just made a mistake.

No, I don't, because 72.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
