I needed to calculate the discounted price of the item on sale.

When following a recipe, you often need to measure ingredients in fractions. For instance, Let's say you're making a cake and the recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of butter. To measure the flour, you would need to use a measuring cup that has both whole numbers and fractions marked on it. You would fill the cup up to the 2 cup mark, and then add an additional 1/2 cup of flour to reach the 2 1/2 cup measurement.

There are several ways we use fractions unknowingly while performing our day to day activities. It is fair to say that the world would not be without fractions as we see it today. Fractions is a topic in mathematics that act as the building block in many other topics. 

Another example I came upon this week is fitness... we use fractions to understand our body mass index (BMI) to determine whether we are in a healthy range of body mass or not.
