    Unhappy Need help calling people good at maths!!

    Sorry for a dull thread,I know people like to hear about deep anal sex and crazy shit.I have to admit this is quite an embarrassing thread for me to write,but I really need help.My mathematics skills are very limited with a calculator but remove this from me and im clueless.You see my generation of education in England we were allowed to use calculators for everything including exams from a young age,so manual maths without a calculator was not experienced.

    im in a position were I have to convert fractions into decimals without a calculator. How is this done? I understand the mechanics of the process is diving the top part by the bottom so 12/10 is 1.2.So how is this done,with no calculator especially with more complex fractions.
