Yes. All fractions are converted and converted to decimal, scaled,
etc.
When you post recipes to the BigOven.com shared recipe archive (where
other cooks can find, rate and import recipes with each other -- see
http://www.bigoven.com/find.htm), the fractions are posted in text form
with a decimal equivalent.

BigOven allows you to enter weight or volume measures. At present, it
doesn't automatically convert volume to weight based upon ingredients,
but does let you link up nutritional items to get nutritional content.
About 300 pre-linked relationships are included in the basic program,
so you can get the gram weight immediately for those.
