You might know this you might not. To convert a fraction to a decimal you divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator ( bottom number)The calipers that offer a display in fractions have always made me scratch my head. I have nothing against fractions, but I have a hard time quickly visualizing if 23/64th is larger or smaller than 3/8th of an inch.
Ex - 3/4 3 divided by 4 = .75
Also to find half of a fraction you double the denominator
Ex half of 3/4 is 3/8
half of 3/8 is 3/16
half of 3/16 is 3/32
I figured this out when I was working construction
