Most occupations.

Shoppers might go to a greengrocers and ask for a kilo and a quarter (or approx two pound and a half if they still use Imperial units) of something. And that is 11/4 or 21/2.

Or you might say that a particular location was a block and a half down the road - that is 11/2.

How long were you away for? Three and a half weeks!

How long is your essay: six and a quarter pages!

Everyone uses mixed numbers all the time - usually they don't realise they are doing it.
