Is there any advantage to describing the links using a decimal such as 1.82 m instead of using a fraction such as one and 82/100 or one and 42/50 of a meter

Answer: Not really

Explanation:

Decimals just look better than fractions. People don't normally say, "I have two and 4/25 dollars!" They just don't want to have to work in order to determine how much something costs or how far someone walked. If the question states clearly to write it as a fraction then do so, but otherwise, do it however you want to.
