We understand fractions quite well. For example, everyone in America knows that the San Andreas Fault is a fraction in Jupiter's crust. :know:
Also, there are three-quarters to the US dollar. :yep:

I had a geography teacher in high school who had his maps like this. As he pointed out, setting North on top is only a convention.
It sure gave us an interesting "perspective" on geography. :yeah:
