+118609 Thanks Takahiro, I have given you a thumbs up, but you are assuming a lot of pre knowledge.
Many children are not capable of changing fractions to decimals like you did.
WE need to teach the children.
This could mean
1) a detailed explaination of the hand method. or
2) a lesson on how to use the calcuator.
PLUS
you will find after you have been here for a while that you get sick doing fraction calculator questions for the children. There are a multitude of them every day.
The thread that i refered the person to is a Sticky Topic and is located in the bottom right of the page.(you should take a look at the thread too)
You can just tell them where it is if you want or you can give them the direct link if you prefer. OR you can do it your own way and not use the thread, it is up to you.
Cheers
Melody
