Rounding
Rounded to a whole number the decimal is 1, to one decimal place 1.5 and to two decimal places 1.48. Round only at the end: rounding halfway through a calculation can change the last digit.
The formula explained
decimal = numerator ÷ denominator. The numerator is the top number and counts the pieces; the denominator is the bottom number and says how many equal pieces make a whole. Dividing the top by the bottom gives the size of the fraction as a decimal.
Another worked example: 18/36 as a decimal
- Simplify: 18/36 = 1/2 (divide by 18)
- Divide the numerator by the denominator: 18 ÷ 36 = 0.5
Equivalent fractions
95/64 has the same value as 190/128, 285/192 and 950/640: multiplying the top and bottom by the same number never changes a fraction. All of them give 1.484375 when divided out.
Comparing with nearby fractions
95/64 (1.4844) is bigger than 95/65 (1.4615) and smaller than 96/64 (1.5). A bigger denominator means smaller pieces, so with the same numerator the fraction gets smaller.
The reciprocal
Flipping the fraction gives 64/95 = 0.6(736842105263157894). A number multiplied by its reciprocal is always 1: 95/64 × 64/95 = 1.
In time and money
95/64 of an hour is 89.06 minutes, and 95/64 of a day is 35.63 hours.
In a pie chart
A slice worth 95/64 of the whole takes up 534.38 degrees of the circle, because a full turn is 360 degrees. That is the angle to draw when you make the chart by hand with a protractor.
