If you're measuring a room and need the square footage for some home project, would be one example.
Say your room is 17 feet 3 inches by 13 feet 4 inches, and you need the square feet. You can express this as (17 3/12) feet x (13 4/12) feet, or you could convert to inches: 17 x 12 + 3 = 207 inches, and 13 x 12 + 4 = 160 inches, then multiply to get 33120 sq.in, then divide by 144 to get sq.ft = 230 sq.ft
Or you could leave them as mixed fractions: (17 + 3/12)(13 + 4/12) and multiply them to get 230 sq.ft
