minus-squareFooBarrington@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoYou’re so close to getting it - why is it not a fraction of 10, but a fraction of 100?
minus-squareFooBarrington@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoSo we use fractions of 100 instead of fractions of 10 because base 60 was too useful? How does that make any sense? The question wasn’t why we use base 100 instead of base 60.
