.3541666..7 -or- 1/2, I THINK
what i did to get the 1/2 is i took 5/12 and added 4 to the top and bottom to make the denominators the same and so then it was 9/16-1/16 and subtracted the tops to get 8/16 and simplified it to get 1/2.
i don't remember if that's right, but the decimal one is for sure!
