Rationale: A common fraction represents equal parts of a whole. Common fractions are less than 1 in value. Common fractions are not thought of as representing percentages in general. They also do not represent Roman numerals because Roman numerals are concerned with whole numbers (except for the Roman numeral "ss," which is occasionally used to represent the fraction 1/2," although this is not a very common usage).
