While I was doing the figuring, I was driving in the car with my hubby.  I asked him, “What is the decimal for 7/16?”  And he would answer, “0.437.” 

“What is the decimal for 11/16?”  “0.812.”

“What is the decimal for 9/16?”  “0.562.  Why do you keep asking me these?”

He works with these numbers all the time in his job, and it was kind of nice to not have to do the math myself!

I have a bunch of posts planned for the next week.  I’m going to cook some of the acorn squash tomorrow, plus I have a couple of posts for bananas and apples.  Stay tuned.
