Today is 30 years since I met the man in my life. We both turned 49 this year. I'm trying to figure out how much of our lives we've been together!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this a trick question? lol 30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, no :( I turned here beacuse I'm not good at fractions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're joking right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Should probably ask somewhere else, sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30/49 =61.1112 % however lets kick it up to 62 % for better sounding-ness

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you very much Outkast3r09!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, I see.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can I ask one more – is 62 % something like three fourths, or four fifths?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IanT, I'm sure you didn't mean to, but you made me feel quite stupid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry. The way I you put the question made it sound like you wanted to know how many years you've been together- which is 30. the closest simple fraction would be three fifths

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, thank you both then! I'll try to find better words next time :o
