Some people prefer working with fractions to working with percentages (I do) while others prefer things the other way round. If you are reasonably competent , then there are no circumstances when one is better than the other.

Why may fractions represent a quantity better than a percent?

Fractions can represent quantities more accurately than percentages when dealing with parts of a whole that are not easily expressed as a percentage. For instance, in cases where the total is not a standard base of 100, such as in recipes or measurements, fractions provide a clearer understanding of proportions. Additionally, fractions can convey precise relationships between quantities, whereas percentages may obscure these details by simplifying them to a common scale. Thus, fractions can often offer a more nuanced representation of a quantity.
