This may already be know to most people but I though it was good to mention that the easiest way to convert fractions to decimals is with a calculator.
One day, I was looking at the division symbol "/" on a calculator and I thought to myself that was the same as the fraction symbol. It then dawned on me to treat the fraction as a algorithm to get the equivalent decimal value.
i.e.; 13/64 = 13 "divided by" 64 = .203125
So as long as you have access to a calculator (and if you are on the computer, you probably do) then use this tip for your decimal conversions.
