In real life very simple fraction such as 1/2 and 1/4 are used all the time. But generally I think decimals are used much more. This is especially true in countries that use the metric system.

I don't know of any country that uses fractions for money ( except for the US quarter.)

Yes I think decimals are used mmuch more.
