I really dont get why it should be more precise... Precision is dependent on my measurement and calculation. How can it be dependent on units? (if you smaller units as needed by your measurement and calculation)

I've never seen metric units represented with fractions

Well, sometimes, because writing 1,3333333333333 is shitty :P, in those seldom cases I rather write it as 1,1/3
