Wouldn't the dozenal system have their own fractions with this same kind of problem? Overall, in the grand scheme of things, base 10 and base 12, whichever you use, gets you to the same answers.

That said, this guy right here explains the dozenal system so charismatically. Even though the video is almost ten minutes (HA! BASE TEN! EAT THAT!), it goes by so quickly.
