"No, I don't #convert fractions into decimals," Molly said firmly. "It's dangerous magic. And who needs it? Look how neat and helpful this fraction is: one-third: number one sitting nicely on top of number three. Cut a sandwich into threes, easy peasy! Fill a cup one-third full--no problem. But just try to convert that to a decimal: there's not paper enough in the world to do the math, or time--the task is infinite. No, I'll stick to the finite, thanks very much!"
