TIL fractions don't exist in the metric system.

We wouldn't normally say "I'd like a 18/100 kilogram burger"...

Yup for us its 250g vs 333g burgers. Or 0.25 vs 0.33kg

Eh that's regional still, like in dutch we've changed the meaning of old imperial words to be equal to metric quantities, though probably used more common by older people. So 1 ons (ounce) = 100g and a pond (pound) is half a kg. But this is mostly used at a butcher. For other stuff we mostly just use the metric nomenclature.
