Conceptual knowledge :

Fractions are used to denote a part of the whole. 1/2 represents a part from 2 parts of the whole ( If a whole is divided into 2 parts, 1 part of this is represented by 1/2). Decimals are a better notation of fractions as they help to locate on the number line for better comparisons
