Get the Dewey Decimal Piss-On mug.Used in a minority of countries to pretend the presence of a metric system, when in fact a non-metric system is used. Instead of using a designated smaller unit or real fraction, the bigger unit is used with a decimal point.
More often used in combination with the decimal system to describe numbers that are not even.

Geoff: “It’m 6 feet and 5 inches tall.”
Heidi: “uh… I only know the metric system.”
Geoff: “Oh, sorry. That’s 6 5/12 feet.”
Heidi: “That’s a real fraction, not metric, though.”
Geoff: “Oh right. I mean 6.42 feet.”
Heidi: “OK, that’s a decimal fraction alright, but still not metric 🤣”
Geoff: “Hey Siri, what’s 6 feet and 5 inches in metric?”
Siri: “6 feet, 5 inches is equivalent to about 1.96 meters.”

Get the decimal fraction mug.1: A mythical figure whom possesses math skills of a much higher level than that of an average mortal man. (Believed by some to have the ability to solve complex quadratic equations with minimal expenditure of time and/or physical exertion.)
2: One whom has the ability to go medieval on that seemingly unsolvable and obscure "The train left the station" problem's ass.

Get the Denominator Decimator mug.i looked this up for my math homework but couldnt find it so here ya go i had to figure it out myself a terminating decimal is a decimal without a end
person 1: what does terminating decimal mean ? i looked it up in the urban dictionary but didnt find it .
person 2: its a decimal without a end, For example, 1 / 4 can be expressed as a terminating decimal: It is 0.25. In contrast, 1 / 3 cannot be expressed as a terminating decimal, because it is a recurring decimal, one that goes on forever.
person 1: woah your a human calculator ! wow
