Etymology
The fraction '1/20' is part of a broader mathematical system developed over millennia, starting with early human civilizations that needed to quantify parts of a whole for trade and agriculture. The concept of fractions can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where they used fractions in various calculations, predominantly using unit fractions. The notation we use today, particularly the horizontal bar (vinculum), originated from the works of medieval European mathematicians. The use of fractions continued to evolve, influenced by Arabic and Indian numeral systems.
