The question is poorly stated: the point being uncertain as there is no such thing as "metric fractions". My best guess would be that the question is

If so, here is the answer:

The metric system is a decimal system. Therefore, all measurements, including fractional parts ("fractions") of its units, are always expressed as decimals.
