As the title says really, I can work with many different measurements (full inches, feet, yards, metres, mm etc ) but I’ve always struggle when it comes to imperial measurements of fractions of an inch. Why did people use this measurement because to me it seems a crazy way to measure something!

Uhm… Milimeters are also fraction of a meter, just with a more ordered concept how to divide the unit.
Imperial units predate this structured approach, so they are divided simply as people see fit.
