What are different ways to use the duodecimal system?

The duodecimal system, or base-12, can be used in various ways, such as in measurements and timekeeping, where it can provide more precise subdivisions. For instance, a dozen (12) is commonly used in counting items, and a gross (144) is used in bulk purchasing. Additionally, duodecimal can simplify fractions and arithmetic in certain contexts, making it advantageous in mathematical problems. It's also explored in theoretical mathematics and computer science as an alternative to binary or decimal systems.

What is 7.2 as a Roman Numeral?

The Romans used a duodecimal (base-12) system for fractions. You cannot notate 1/5 using duodecimal. The following notations are used for the 11 possible fractions used by the Romans using a series of dots and the letter S (for semis, or half): 1/12 = ● 1/6 = ●● 1/4 = ●●● 1/3 = ●●●● 5/12 = ●●●●● 1/2 = S 7/12 = S● 2/3 = S●● 3/4 = S●●● 5/6 = S●●●● 11/12 = S●●●●●
