@dweebish@actuallyautistic I completely agree on all fronts. I remember having to do complex math problems with fractions like that and they were indeed a pain in the neck lol.
My point in bringing it up in discussion was just a "this is equal to that" type thing. 15/16 is already in standard form, so there's not really a reason to simplify it further anyway.
Though I don't understand how equating 7.5/8 (a hypothetical) to 15/16 means I "don't understand fractions" as my parents claimed.
