Tape measure in Tenths of an inch

Using 1/16ths is still common for auger bits. I think they teach
"least common denominators" just to make the concept more intuitive
for kids. 375/1000 doesn't just jump right out at you as a
recognizable fraction.

No dumb questions, just dumb answers.
It just depends where you grew up. 0.375 is much more recognizable to me
than 3/8.
Just a my view. Originally Dutch, I moved to the US in 1969, when I was
almost 23.
Now very happy in Radburn
