Thanks guys :)
your welcome
@OrangeMaster It was "complicated" because I showed how to do it without a calculator or long division.
Almost everybody on here can use a calculator, because most computers have one already installed. It was easier to do with a calculator.
@OrangeMaster I'm not critizing your approach, just so you know. I just feel that it's important to know how to work with such simple fractions without a calculator.
