Sandy,

A funny and somewhat related story: In Elementary School when it came time to convert fractions to decimals, many kids were stumped. I always got it instantly. The teacher asked me if an older brother or sister had helped teach it to me. I responded that I got it from baseball. If a guy goes 3 for 8, he's hitting .375. If you can do that, how hard can decimals be?
