The clock ("a quarter 'till").
Electricians (guage/length of wires).
Plumbing (thickness of pipe, diameter of pipe, length of pipe).
Carpenters (thickness/length/width of wood).
Engineers (just math equations).
Metal fabrication (length/width/guage of metal).
Taxes/budgeting (obvious math involved).
Cooking (measurements like HALF a cup...).
In your car (miles PER hour, miles PER gallon).
Paying for things in general (1 penny is 1/100 of a dollar, writing out checks.)
There are gillions of things in daily life that use fractions.

Very important. Nearly aspect of daily living involves fractions. From cooking, to bookkeeping.

Hi. I get my pizza cut into 6 pieces because I can't eat 8. Does this make sense to you? When you spend a quarter you are spending 1/4 of a dollar.

Important. Need to know fractions for recipes, splitting the bill, shopping sales racks, helping your kid out with math homework, etc. If you know your math and reading/spelling you can excel in the job world.

ah pizza, first your opponent must not know "fractions", grab as many slices as you can get, and defend such ferociously
