We were taught fractions starting in grade school. Write an answer as 9/12, you’d likely not get full credit even if the answer was three-quarters. Points were deducted because we were taught to always, ALWAYS, ALWAYS simplify fractions to lowest terms—9/12 reduces to 3/4. Never once did a math teacher mention life’s single caveat to ALWAYS!! Long ago—back when the only option for paying a credit card was mailing a check—I dutifully followed this reductive mathematical rule. I have no memory of what the total was, but the penny column was an even number—let’s say $32.74. I wrote out:
Thirty-two and 37/50————————–
Apparently banks hire people who didn’t pass 3rd grade, because they sure didn’t appreciate my diligence in simplifying the fraction. Despite clearly writing the amount out numerically as $32.74, the check was cashed for $32.37, leaving me a past due credit card balance of $0.37. Come to think of it, that was certainly the sinister doings of the credit card company. They were able to charge this deadbeat a minimum finance charge far exceeding $0.37. I smell a class action lawsuit!
