Fractions can be converted into decimals and they mean the same thing.
They are all different ways of representing the same thing: a relationship between two numbers.
They are both representations of rational numbers.
The relationship between fractions and decimals can be seen as follow. Fractions can be represented as ratio of two numbers and on dividing can give a decimal value. And decimal value can be converted into a fraction too.
No records worldwide, but fractions are mostly used for thirds, halves and quarters and "one in a million", whereas percents are used for most other numbers where percentage is between 1 and 99 (Note football demands 110% from its players!)
Hundredths.
It is just a different way of presenting the same information, since fractions and percentages are interconvertible. Depending upon the circumstances, one form can be more readable and/or understandable than the other.
Fractions and decimals

Fractions to decimals: Divide the numerator by the denominator. Decimals to fractions: Put the fraction without the decimal point in the numerator. In the denominator, put a "1", followed by as many zeroes as there are decimals. For example, 0.058 becomes 58 / 1000.
