Then pi would go the way of the cake and become a lie.
In all seriousness, though, here would be no curvature, no matrices, many economic infrastructures would be toast. Take, for instance, the US' currency standard of a dollar ($1). If nothing could cost 1/100th of a dollar to produce--a penny, the cost of production of that item would be forced into a full dollar. While the costs of goods and services would not necessarily balloon 100x in every instance, they would still balloon in such an exponential fashion the sheer amount of additional currency that would have to be in circulation would be astronomical, further destroying the perceived value of the dollar (remember, to produce one full something, it would have to cost one full something--no fractions!). Not to mention make it very difficult to carry such large amounts of cash. Mind you, this is but one of several examples of what could happen without the existence of fractions. They are an extremely necessary evil.

What if fractions didn't exist?
if fraction didn't exist we will never know it or learn it and never understood it :)
What would happen if fractions didn't exist?
we wouldn't have pizza slices
Why don't we just round numbers to the nearest whole number?
Quite simply because you NEED fractions. Fractions exist everywhere whether you chose to acknowledge them or not.
When and why do you need decimals?
You need decimals when you measure and fractions. You need decimals, because to measure and fractions. Also, so whole numbers could exist if there are decimals. There will be no math if there's no decimals.
Where in the real world do you find fractions and decimals?
Nowhere. Fractions and decimals - in fact mathematics - are man-made concepts. They do not actually exist in physical form. However, nowadays you would find it almost impossible to survive without their applications.

Is cross reduction a math word?
Cross reduction does exist. We use it when we want to make large multiplication fractions simpler =)
What is a non example of a atomic number?
Only the counting numbers can exist as atomic numbers. Fractions and decimals cannot be an atomic number.
